Nonetheless, the current safety profile and an expanding post approval safety data base should encourage further experimental laboratory-based and clinical trial-based research with lorcaserin in targeted populations to investigate its full therapeutic potential.ĥ-HT2C receptor Binge eating disorder Drug abuse Impulsivity Lorcaserin Obesity Precision medicine Review Reward Safety Serotonin 2C receptor Smoking cessation.Ĭopyright © 2019. Henry VIII review even gold phalluses can’t bring little-seen Shakespeare to life. If you are looking for a time out to recharge or to heal serious complaints, you are at the right place. However, as with any recently approved first-in-class pharmacotherapy, there may be yet-unknown risks, as well as benefits, associated with use of lorcaserin. Close to the Costa Vicentina in Portugal (Faro) on the organic smallholding, Olho Branco, we offer Ayurvedic full board service with Yoga, MBSR, and a health consultation with Ayurveda doctor Farnaz Fahimi. Based on clinical experience, including the outcomes from several, large, well-powered clinical obesity trials at the approved 10mg BID dose both pre and post approval, a priori concerns about cardiac valvulopathy have largely been allayed. All of this work suggests that lorcaserin may have therapeutic potential for a variety of disorders and conditions beyond obesity. These include smoking cessation, cocaine self-administration, and behavioural and brain responses to food cues. However, results of clinical trials and experimental laboratory studies involving lorcaserin are now appearing which describe effects on a range of other behaviours and physiological functions. Not surprisingly, the majority of clinical work with lorcaserin has focused on its effects on weight gain, and on physiological processes related to energy intake. Potential clinically-relevant effects of lorcaserin have also been reported in models of pain and seizure-like activity. A significant number of studies have also shown that lorcaserin alters behaviours related to drug use and addiction, in rodents and non-human primates. Preclinical studies with lorcaserin initially focused on simple measures of food intake and body weight gain, but have now expanded to include studies on its effects on appetitive aspects of feeding behaviour and models of binge-eating. This article provides a review of the preclinical and clinical pharmacology of lorcaserin, including its pharmacokinetic and safety profiles.

The selective 5-HT2C receptor agonist lorcaserin, in conjunction with lifestyle modification, was approved by the FDA in 2012 for weight management.
