Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Les médicaments anorexigènes, s'ils semblent efficaces et d'une relative inocuité dans le traitement de l'obésité, ont un pouvoir toxicomanogéne. Dans quatre états des USA un effort est fait pour contrôler leur prescription au regard de ce potentiel.
ENGLISH :
This study outlines the attempts of four states (Louisiana, Kansas, Wisconsin, and Michigan) to restrict anorectic prescriptions. The actions in these four states exemplify the various mechanisms used in regulating anorectics, ranging from educational efforts of to legislative enactments. We examine the evidence used in promulgating these policies and review some of the current literature on the safety and efficacy of anorectics. Despite the existence of evidence demonstrating the safety end efficacy of anorectics, the states seem to be moving toward more severe restrictions, in contrast to the federal regulatory agencies.
