Fen Phen, Pondimin and Redux AttorneysWhat are some of the side effects of Fen-Phen? Based on the serious side effects of Fen-Phen, has the FDA done anything? What should I do if I've taken Fen-Phen? Fen-Phen is the common name given to the drug combinations of fenfluramine and phentermine. Both had been approved the FDA as short-term use appetite suppressants for many years. Fenfluramine was approved in 1973 and phentermine was approved in 1959. Fen-Phen works by regulating the seratonin levels in the body. Redux (dexfenfluramine) is another brand name appetite suppressant marketed by Wyeth Laboratories. What are some of the side effects of Fen-Phen? When seratonin levels in the body are increased, the heart can sustain damage. The two most common symptoms of heart injury indicated by patients using Fen-Phen have been shortness of breath and chest pain. Other patients have suffered heart valve leakage, as well. Based on the serious side effects of Fen-Phen, has the FDA done anything? In September 1997, the FDA asked the manufacturers of fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine to voluntarily remove their products from the market. All manufacturers agreed to this voluntarily recall. The FDA did not request the removal of phentermine, however. What should I do if I've taken Fen-Phen? Discuss any symptoms you have or suspect you have with your doctor.
