A Cure for Binge Eating Disorder?
Check out the article in Med Page Today about a new medication that may be approved soon to help treat BINGE EATING DISORDER.
“Dasotraline, a novel binge eating disorder treatment, helped reduce body weight in a secondary analysis, a researcher reported here.
After 12 weeks, the once-daily investigational long-acting dopamine/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor was associated with a significant 12.57 lbs (5.7 kg) reduction in body weight reduction compared with a 0.88 lb (0.4 kg) gain in placebo, according to Leslie Citrome, MD, of New York Medical College in Valhalla.”

“In July 2019, Sunovion announced the FDA accepted their New Drug Application for dasotraline seeking the indication for moderate-to-severe binge eating disorder, with an action date of May 14, 2020.”
