Dieter's wonderland: pills that make you small

Article Abstract:

Consumer demand for Redux (dexfenfluramine), a new diet pill, is growing. The drug is recommended for people who are 20-30% over their ideal body weight. People who do not meet this criterion are advised not to take the drug because it may be harmful to their health. They should also modify their eating and exercise habits.
