The American diet industry has grown exponentially
over the past decade. Along with diets of every kind came diet
pills touted as being able to help you lose those unwanted pounds
quicker and faster than ever. One of those wonder drugs was Fen-Phen.
Fen-Phen is a combination of two appetite suppressants – fenfluramine
and phentermine. Unfortunately, the potentially dangerous side
effects far outweighed the benefits and Fen-Phen was recalled in
September 1997. These include:
Heart Valve Damage
Primary Pulmonary Hypertension
(PPH)
Neuropsychological Damage
Symptoms of PPH can include:
Shortness of breath
Fainting
Spells
Fatigue
Dizziness · Weakness
Chest pain
Ankle swelling
Many people are just discovering that they are suffering
serious side effects from having taken Fen-Phen.
