Dangerous Drug Attorney: Pondimin
Columbus, Ohio
Pondimin (fenfluramine), with Redux, is one of the two components making up the diet drug popularly known as Fen Phen. Medical studies have linked the active ingredient in Pondimin to serious heart valve problems including regurgitant disease of the mitral, aortic, or tricuspid valves. As many as 30% of patients evaluated showed abnormal EKG's, even when they had no symptoms. Some patients required surgery to repair heart valve damage caused by the drugs. In 1997, the FDA directed the maker, American Home Products, to withdraw Pondimin from the market.
