Verbal Gorilla said:Fenfluramine aka podimin aka redux was the drug associated with heart failure no? And wasn't one of the main culprits of all the diet lawsuits associated with phen-fen...Damn, there are a ton of shite on medline showing its connection to heart and lung problems...
Yes. You're correct. Pondimin and the drug redux are linked to causing left-sided valvular heart disease and primary pulmonary hypertension. Redux has the same effect as the drug pondimin. Redux’s active medication is dexfenfluramine, basically identical to fenfluramine. Both pondimin and redux have resulted in the same adverse health problems. There are lawsuits pending all over the country concerning these exact drugs. It's still not too late to get involved in the class-action suits if you wish.
And Fonz, you need to do some more research before you tell people Redux is a "god-send." Some poor kid is going to read that and order some.
