MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 25, 2007 - VIVUS, Inc. (NASDAQ: VVUS), a pharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of novel therapeutic products, announced that Abstract #2209-PO, Evaluation of Glycemic Parameters in Obese Diabetic Patients Treated with Phentermine and Topiramate: Outcomes in a Private Practice Setting has been published in the American Diabetes Association 2007 Scientific Sessions Abstract book. The abstract is available on the American Diabetes Association website.

The purpose of analyzing these data compiled from Dr. Najarian's private medical practice was to evaluate the glycemic effects of topiramate plus phentermine in type 2 diabetic patients with metabolic co-morbidities. The abstract was based on a series of consecutive obese type 2 diabetic patients that had both baseline and on-treatment HbA1c measurements. The results showed that topiramate plus phentermine reduced HbA1c levels and the need for other anti-diabetic medications. Metabolic co-morbidities were also reduced.
