Diet Drug Danger & PPH Lawsuit Information

There have been many diet drugs throughout the last 30 years, but few of them have endured the notoriety of Fen-Phen. A combination of the two potent chemicals fenfluramine and phenterminem, Fen-Phen was an extremely popular appetite suppressant during the 1990s. A reputed wonder drug in the battle against obesity, Fen-Phen seemed to work perfectly with no major side effects.

Then, in 1997, the prestigious Mayo Clinic published a study that demonstrated an exponential increase in occurrence of heart valve disease and pulmonary hypertension in people who used Fen-Phen, especially in women. More light was shed on the subject when it was alleged that the company responsible for the drug attempted to hide the potentially fatal nature of the chemical.
