I read about a substance called Tesofensin a couple of days ago. In the article it says that tesofensin can give a weight loss of 10 kilo in six months.
That's from a study in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Anyone heard of it? Maybe it's not on the market yet.

Lol why do people desire a pill for weight loss? Are people really that lazy?

10 kilo in six months? Why would you need a pill for that?

Tesofensine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesofensine)
It was originally researched for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's Disease, but was subsequently dropped from development for these applications after early trial results showed limited efficacy for treatment of Parkinson's,[1][2] but significant weight loss in trial participants who were obese.[3] It is now being researched for the treatment of obesity, acting both as an appetite suppressant and also stimulating resting metabolic rate.[4] As of 2006 it was in Phase II trials for the treatment of obesity, and Phase III trials are currently underway.[5] Sustained treatment with tesofensine has also been shown to increase BDNF levels in the brain, and may possibly have an antidepressant effect.[6]

Promising New Obesity Drug May Have Huge Potential (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/10/081022222907.htm)
According to trials, a new obesity drug, Tesofensine, which may be launched on the world market in a few years, can produce weight loss twice that of currently approved obesity drugs.

Ehh by the time they launch the drug you can have lost those 10kilos easy...

It sounds like it's yet one more "wonder" drug for the morbidly obese.... and NOT for those lookig to fit into a bikini for vacation...


The science daily article is actually interesting reading...

Thanks for the information!

The answer is obvious otherwise there shuldn't be a weight loss industry.
