Belviq (generic name: lorcaserin) is a popular prescription weight-loss drug made by Eisai Inc. to help people experiencing obesity and weight-related health issues curb their hunger. While it is not known exactly how Belviq works, the drug targets a hunger receptor in the brain and helps people fee full after easting smaller amounts of food and also seems to help people fee full longer.
Alarmingly, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) safety trial concluded that the drug could increase the risk of several different types of cancer, including pancreatic, lung, and colorectal cancer. Those individuals who participated in the clinical trial reported certain types of cancer with some types occurring more frequently in the lorcaserin group, including pancreatic, colorectal, and lung. As a result, the FDA issued a full Belviq recall in February 2020.
