Is Meridia different than the recalled drug Fen Phen?
Meridia is different from Fen Phen in that it does not produce extra serotonin and is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Abbott Laboratories, Meridia manufacturer, immediately began their marketing strategy by trying to differentiate Meridia from Fen Phen as much as possible. Meridia was the first diet pill approved following the Fen Phen disaster.
