application
Lorcaserin Hydrochloride is an FDA-approved prescription weight-loss drug that, when used with diet and exercise, helps overweight or obese adults with weight-related medical problems lose weight and remain healthy.
Lorcaserin hydrochloride is a 5-hydroxytryptamine 2C receptor agonist. It has been shown to reduce food consumption and promote satiety by selectively activating serotonin 2C receptors in the brain.
Clocasserin hydrochloride is particularly indicated for chronic weight management in clinically obese adults (BMI 30 kg/m2 or higher) and overweight adults (BMI 27 kg/m2 or higher) with a reduced caloric diet and increased physical activity, with at least one weight-related comorbidient.
Clorcasserin hydrochloride is available in tablet form for oral administration.
The recommended dose is 10 mg tablets twice daily. Belviq should be discontinued if 5% weight loss is not achieved by week 12 of treatment.
