Dear Alice,
I only caught half of a TV segment that highlighted possible health effects of the fenfluramine and phentermine combination of drug therapy used to assist in weight loss. I have been on the regimen for two months, with a 20 pound loss, and would like to continue another month to see if I can shave off another five to ten pounds. I believe that they referred to pulmonary hypertension, but I don't know what circumstance (prior conditions, dosage errors, etc.) causes this to be a concern. The fen-phen pages I have been able to access on the Internet thus far have no information on this and the one doctor I tried to ask about this gave a contrite answer advising me that if my doctor knows the right doses to give, I shouldn't worry about it. Any information you have will be much appreciated!
