Italy side effects

Sibutramine (Meridia), a weight-loss drug introduced in 1998, inhibits the reuptake of the brain chemicals norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin, but does not promote monoamine release like the amphetamines. Yet the drug has been linked to serious side effects, including rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, seizure, and mental impairments. In March 2002, Italy s Health Ministry announced that it was immediately withdrawing all sibutramine products from the market due to health-related problems. Also, Meridia was the subject of a class action lawsuit filed in the United States.

Methods such as corona treatment have not been very common for three-dimensional moldings in Europe due to the difficulties to control parameters like distance of the corona electrode to the surface to be treated. However, simply shaped parts like side protection moldings have been effectively tteated prior to coating using the corona discharge method. A variation of the improved method is known as Ambient Pressure Plasma (Plasma Gun) (13). Ultraviolet (UV) primers have been used in France and Italy combining the adhesion effect of adhesion promoters with the attack of free radicals formed under UV irradiation to the polymer (14).
