Lorcaserin may decrease heart rate. In clinical trials of at least one year duration, the mean decrease in heart rate was 1.2 beats per minute (bpm) in lorcaserin-treated and 0.4 bpm in placebo-treated patients without diabetes, and 2.0 bpm in lorcaserin-treated and 0.4 bpm in placebo-treated patients with type 2 diabetes. The incidence of heart rate less than 50 bpm was 5.3% in lorcaserin-treated and 3.2% in placebo-treated patients without diabetes, and 3.6% in lorcaserin-treated and 2.0% in placebo-treated patients with type 2 diabetes. In the combined population, adverse reactions of bradycardia occurred in 0.3% of lorcaserin-treated and 0.1% of placebo-treated patients. Therapy with lorcaserin should be administered cautiously in patients with bradycardia or a history of heart block greater than first degree.
