What is Fen Phen?
Fen-Phen is a prescription diet drug combo that was
used for many years to control appetite. The two drugs that make up the
combination are fenfluramine (Pondimin) and phentermine (Ionamin). In
addition, a drug known as Redux (dexfenfluramine) was also used.
As with any drug, there are side effects associated with Fen-Phen. Side
effects of Fen-Phen include:
- Heart valve damage
- Primary pulmonary hypertension - narrowing of the blood vessels
in the lungs, which lead to higher blood pressure and possible heart failure.
The FDA issued a recall of fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine in 1997
after these diet drugs were linked to heart valve damage and primary pulmonary
hypertension.
In response to the numerous lawsuits filed on behalf of people who were
harmed by Fen-Phen, the manufacturers of the drug settled a nationwide
lawsuit for $3.75 billion.
