Abstract
In the August 29 issue of the Journal, we published an Original Article by Abenhaim et al., entitled “Appetite-Suppressant Drugs and the Risk of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension.”1 It dealt with the increased risk of primary pulmonary hypertension in subjects taking antiobesity drugs. In the same issue was a solicited editorial by Dr. JoAnn Manson and Dr. Gerald Faich, entitled “Pharmacotherapy for Obesity — Do the Benefits Outweigh the Risks?”2 As is the usual practice of the Journal, the editors asked the editorialists to put the study results into perspective for our readers.Keywords
