Redux dangers

What is Redux used for?

Weight Loss – Redux was intended to decrease appetite over a short treatment period, leading to weight loss.

Why was Redux Recalled (or why should it) ?

On September 15, 1997, the FDA announced that they were recalling dexfenfluramine and fenfluramine, marketed under the name Redux and Pondimin. This action was based on reports from the Mayo Clinic that there were 24 cases of heart valve disease in some patients that were treated with the combination of phentermine and fenfluramine. Warnings were added to Redux on July 25, 1997, prior to the recall to warn of the concern for possible heart valve disease.

Cases of heart disease and heart damage are continuing to surface because of the delayed diagnoses that can often result because of the non-evident symptoms.

Redux has been linked to primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), as well as other adverse side effects.

The manufacturer of Redux failed to properly warn patients that the deadly condition of PPH could occur. People are still experiencing the serious adverse effects of Redux due to the latency period that PPH and other side effects can have.
