The FDA stated that in findings from doctors who evaluated patients that took (Fen Phen drugs) with echocardiograms, that approximately 30 percent of Fen Phen patients who were evaluated had abnormal echocardiograms, even though they had no apparent symptoms. You may be injured and unaware of your injury, which is why you should seek medical advice and contact a Fen Phen attorney if you have taken Pondimin or Redux. It may seem overwhelming, but our attorneys will represent you against AHP, and their team of attorneys, to get you the best results possible.
Additionally a Mayo Clinic study on Fen Phen drugs that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine on August 28, 1997 suggested that as high as one-third of a patient sampling of Fen Phen diet pill users had evidence of heart valve disease. The study found that there was a high incidence of heart valve disease in patients taking these diet pills, without any other known reason for valve disease.

If you have been diagnosed with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, it is imperative that you speak with a Fen Phen attorney before accepting the terms of the proposed settlement. Not all personal injury attorneys are qualifed to handle this type of litigation.
Medical reports have also linked fen phen drug ( hydrochloride) to the occurrence of serious regurgitant cardiac valvular disease, including disease of the mitral, aortic, and/or tricuspid valves. In one medical study, 24 Fen Phen patients, who received combination therapy with and phentermine for treatment of obesity, were found to have regurgitant cardiac valvular disease; five of these patients required valvular surgery.
