Excerpt

Lorcaserin is a selective serotonin agonist that was used as a weight loss agent. Lorcaserin was in clinical use for eight years when it was withdrawn because of concerns regarding an excess in cancer risk after long term use. In prelicensure studies and while in clinical use, lorcaserin was not found to be associated with serum enzyme elevations during therapy or to instances of clinically apparent liver injury.
