>. I'm hearing news reports today of >25 deaths associated with Meridia. Nothing conclusive yet, but I >wouldn't give it to a pregnant woman.>> Here’s one of the links: FDA urged to ban diet drug THE FOOD and Drug Administration reports that 25 people worldwide who were taking the drug have died, though it is not known whether those deaths were related to Meridia. Sixteen of the deaths were related to heart problems. A spokeswoman for the manufacturer, Abbott Laboratories, said the company knows of 32 deaths of people taking Meridia, including 28 in this country. But Melissa Brotz said there does not appear to be a pattern suggesting the drug was to blame. http://www.msnbc.com/news/726696.asp?0si=-#BODY

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
