Re: Phentermine diet pill for obesity has FDA endorsement

That's some good news if you ask me. It seems a lot of the diet/appetite suppresant out there have not been evaluated by the FDA. Granted, most of those are over-the-counter pills, but still.

It would be nice to see more FDA approved diet pills on the market that is for sure. I hope this goes through.

Re: Phentermine diet pill for obesity has FDA endorsement

i have a feeling like many diet pills, people will hope that this is a do it all, all in one type of thing where they take it without eating good and exercising and hope to see sizeable weight loss. once the word FDA approved is used in the marketing of this people people will go nuts.

Re: Phentermine diet pill for obesity has FDA endorsement

As a pharmacy employee I have noticed that most insurance companies are not covering this drug. It makes no sense to me. I'd much rather cover a drug that will help somebody become healthier, rather than cover something much worse. At our pharmacy this drug runs $27.46 for a 1 month supply, which is affordable. However, I don't think this drug is for me.

Just curious is there any reason why they are not covering it?

Re: Phentermine diet pill for obesity has FDA endorsement

I'm still trying to figure out why they won't cover it. Same for the birth control pills, most insurance companies won't cover them, yet they cover the birth of a baby. Is it just me or does this just not make any sense??

Maybe they think there could be some liability involved or that these aren't "mandatory" necesities from a medical perspective.

Maybe because once you are pregnant they figure having a baby is a necesity like OD said, but birth control and diet pills aren't? What kills me is that if diet pills do their job, they in theory should help people lose weight which would save insurance companies a ton of money in the long run with cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc.

I am sure at the end of the day it all comes down to money right? Maybe they would have to raise their rates so much to cover birth control and diet pills that they feel that a lot of people would drop their coverage, and then they would lose money.

Doesn't everything come down to money at the end of the day?

Perhaps it is low profit margin to the companies. Don't insurance companies get incentives from the pharmaceutical companies?
