> Does anyone know about pondimin?Hi Jackie,
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.
