Fen-Phen

Fen-Phen has been off the market for over a decade now, but the damages done by the anti-obesity pill are still being felt.  Cases of primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), the result of taking fen-phen years ago, are still being diagnosed today.  The use of fenfluramine has been associated with a 630% increased risk of developing PPH, an incurable and often fatal blood vessel disorder.

If you or a loved one has taken fen-phen in the past, be aware of the symptoms of PPH.  The most common symptoms of PPH are related to breathing difficulties, including:

More than 18 million prescriptions for fen-phen were filled before the recall took effect in 1997.  It can take decades for symptoms of PPH to appear after fen-phen usage and may get progressively worse.  If you or a loved one has taken fen-phen in the past, be sure to consult with a cardiologist or pulmonologist should you or your loved one exhibit these symptoms.
