The U.S. Food and Drug Administration agreed today to loosen restrictions on the way Vivus' Qsymia can be prescribed, allowing the weight-loss pill Qsymia to be dispensed from retail pharmacies. When approved last year, FDA restricted the drug's distribution to mail-order pharmacies due to concerns about the risk of birth defects.
Vivus has blamed Qsymia's disappointing launch, in part, on the mail-order pharmacy restriction. Sales totaled $2 million in the fourth quarter, well below investor expectations.
