> Pondimin (fenfluramine) has been removed from the US market in 1997 after several cases of heart valve problems were reported by the Mayo Clinic with the use of "phen-fen" ("phen" for phentermine; "fen" for fenfluramine). As an offshoot of this report, dexfenfluramine (Redux), another appetite-suppressant drug, was also taken of the US market. Phentermine is still available.Thanks Sunnely,
I guess I'm just looking for SOMETHING to help with the weight gain. I wonder how many docs have given their patients some of these meds to make them GAIN weight. Why can't the opposite be true for those of us who have gained and need to lose.
