Date:10/1/2009

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VIVUS, Inc. (Nasdaq: VVUS) today announced that data on Qnexa(TM), an investigational new drug, will be presented this Friday, October 2, 2009 at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria.

"The enthusiasm among physicians, patients and pharmaceutical companies for a new option capable of helping patients achieve such clinically meaningful results is significant."

Wilson added, "We are also delighted that Dr. Timothy Garvey, a leading expert in metabolic disorders recognized for his research in the metabolic, molecular, and genetic pathogenesis of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and obesity will present data from our previously reported phase 2 diabetes study at the EASD annual meeting.
