Executive Summary
Open accessAbstract
As of September 1997, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requested the voluntary withdrawal from the market of dexfenfturarnine and fenfturamine due to a reported association between valvular disease and the use of dexfenfturamine or fenfturamine alone or combined with phentermine.The use of these drugs for weight reduction, therefore, is not recommended in this report.Sibutramine is approved by FDA for long-term use.It has limited but definite effects on weight loss and can facilitate weight loss maintenance.(Note: FDA approval for orlistat is pending a resolution of labeling issues and results of Phase III trials.)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
