Apparently, the diet pill called Rimonabant was considered a wonder drug for helping people improve their cholesterol. blood glucose levels, lose their weight, etc since it was approved in Europe in 2007. This drug was not licensed in the United States, but was sold in Europe as Slimona Riobant, Acomplia, etc.

Here's a quote from the article:

Quote:
The trial wasn't testing the drug's weight loss benefits, but whether it might prevent heart problems. It was supposed to follow more than 18,000 patients in 42 countries for three years. Roughly half were given rimonabant while the other half were given a placebo.

After about a year, four people on rimonabant had killed themselves, versus one person in the placebo group. There were also nine attempted suicides in people on rimonabant, compared with five among those on placebo. At that point, the study was halted and the European Medicines Agency yanked its approval for the drug.

Calcium supplements are widely used to prevent osteoporosis but British Medical Journal suggests that it could result to a higher risk of heart attacks. Researchers from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, also did a study and their findings showed that o the 6,166 participants who took calcium supplements, 166 of them experienced a heart attack (myocardial infarction), compared with 130 out of 5,805 in the placebo group. This translates to about 30% increased risk of heart attack.


This is not a good news since a lot of women take calcium supplements especially once they reach a certain age to help prevent osteoporosis. I think it's best to exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle instead of taking supplements.
