is QNEXA available for purchase leagally any where in the world?


Answer: Qnexa® Qnexa®, produced by Vivus Inc, is a medication being studied for the treatment of obesity. Qnexa is an appetite suppressant and is a blend of two separate already existing medications Phentermine and Topiramate (brand name Topamax®). Phentermine has been approved by the FDA and has been used for many years as a very successful weight loss formula. Topiramate is a medication that has also been approved by the FDA and has been used for years as an anticonvulsant to treat epilepsy and has also been used to treat migraine headaches or as an antidepressant. However, it is the combination that is being tested and the results are promising. It is believed that Qnexa will greater reduce appetite and increase weight loss than Phentermine or Topiramate alone as well as show that it is a safer drug than either one substance by itself. Studies have shown that Qnexa has attained a larger weight loss compared to the placebo as well as compared to each of the two combined drugs individually. The FDA requires that in order for an obesity drug to be considered effective it must show that at least a third of the test patients lose at least 5% of their body weight. Qnexa passed this better than most. ================== I hope this is helpful.
