Lorcaserin Mechanism of Action Lorcaserin is a serotonin 2C receptor agonist. The drug has a high affinity for the human 5-HT2C. It targets specific chemicals in the hypothalamus, which are responsible for appetite. Allow me to explain it scientifically… Belviq interacts with the Central Nervous System (CNS), specifically in the hypothalamus. The drug targets the 5-HT2C receptors, which are found on the pro-opiomelanocortin neurons within the arcuate nucleus. This action prompts the release of alpha-MSH, which is the hormone acting on melanocortin-4-receptors to suppress one’s appetite. This part of the brain regulates hunger such that when activated, it will signal the body that you’re full most of the time. When taken, the drug decreases the consumption of food and brings about the feeling of satiation. Although you’ll still feed on a healthy low-calorie diet, Belviq will control your cravings. You will already be full upon eating so little.
