An author's error occurred in this article by John Wilding (18 October, pp 997-1000). In the first paragraph on page 998 it was wrongly stated that no drug is licensed for treating obesity in Britain. In fact, phentermine is still licensed for use, but it is not recommended for the routine management of obesity.
