Meridia, as with the diet drugs Pondimin and Redux that were recalled in 1997 for causing heart valve damage, affects the release of a brain chemical called serotonin. Pondimin and Redux (part of the drug combination popularly known as Fen-Phen) sought to fool the brain by making patients feel full through boosting production of serotonin. Meridia tries an opposite approach, slowing the body's dissipation of the serotonin the brain naturally produces.

Meridia is the brand name of the popular diet drug sibutramine, and is manufactured by Abbott Laboratories. It is estimated that nine million people worldwide have taken Meridia for the treatment of obesity and to promote weight loss since it was introduced to the market in 1998.

On March 19, 2002, the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen requested that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) immediately recall Meridia on the basis of serious side effects, including its reported linkage to the deaths of 34 patients worldwide.
