Lorcaserin, marketed under the brand name Belviq[4][5] is a weight-loss drug developed by Arena Pharmaceuticals. It reduces appetite by activating a type of serotonin receptor known as the 5-HT2C receptor in a region of the brain called the hypothalamus, which is known to control appetite.[6] It was removed from the market in the United States in 2020 due to an increased risk of cancer detected in users of Belviq.
