Fen-Phen:
Fen-Phen: Fen-Phen is a combination of two drugs, fenfluramine (Pondimin) or dexfenfluramine (Redux) and phentermine. This combination was quite successful in thwarting the appetites of users and thus promoting weight loss.
However, Fen-Phen ultimately associated with the development of heart valve abnormalities and a life-threatening condition called primary pulmonary hypertension.
Pondimin and Redux were both removed from the market in 1997 by the FDA. Phentermin is still available.
If you, or a loved one, have been injured as a result of taking Fen-Phen, please contact a personal injury attorney immediately to protect your legal rights.
