Abstracts

Sales of OTC obesity treatments declined by 2% in 2009. The switch of Alli, the first FDA approved weight loss drug, is proving to be a disappointment for GlaxoSmithKline, despite the state of the US population that is ripe for a scientifically tested weight loss remedy. According to the Center for Disease Control, obesity rates increased in 37 US states in 2007 over the previous year. While overall US obesity rates appear to be stabilising, 34% of US adults aged 20 or above were obese in 2006.
