IPIC - the obesity pill stock
An SI Board Since May 1996

Emcee:  Rich Benjamin Type:  Unmoderated
Interneuron Pharmaceuticals (IPIC) announced yesterday that they have received FDA approval to market an obesity pill under the name Redux. This pill will fool the brain into thinking that the person taking it isn't hungry. Studies have shown that Redux not only reduces weight, but maintains the weight reduction throughout usage.

Think of all the money people spend on weight loss classes, videos, gimmicks, and so on... This is a huge market! (no pun intended)

What are your thoughts about Interneuron Pharmaceuticals, Redux, and the concept of taking a pill to lose weight?
