On September 15, 1997 the FDA asked American Home Products (now Wyeth), the manufacturer or fenfluramine (Pondimin) and dexfenfluramine (Redux) to voluntarily remove these drugs from the market. These anti-obesity drugs were prescribed by themselves or in combination with phentermine for weight loss. "Fen-Phen" refers to the use in combination of fenfluramine and phentermine.

The FDA decision to remove the drugs came after researchers at the Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation reported 24 cases of rare valvular disease know as Primary Pulmonary Hypertension or PPH in women who took the "fen-phen" combination therapy. Subsequently, FDA received 66 additional reports of heart valve disease associated mainly with "fen-phen." There were also reports of cases seen in patients taking only fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine.

Primary Pulmonary Hypertension can take years to develop. If you or a loved on took Fen Phen and was diagnosed with PPH you may have valuable legal rights, please complete the case inquiry form of the right side of this page for a free consultation.

Re: Final Distribution Approved today!

My friend here in the same town with the same lawyer just got hers as well.

chenrichse, it is horrible waiting isnt it? I hope you get it today.

My husband was taking a shower and I was going to leave and go to Walmart, but something told me not to go till he got out, and sure enough Fed Ex came knocking at my door! I would have had a cow if I had came home to see he had been here and left!

Re: Final Distribution Approved today!

When I got mine -- (from the orginal trust - pro se) they just stuck the envelope in the door.. I remember I COULD NOT believe it!!!!  That was a BIG check to just put in the door!!!

Re: Final Distribution Approved today!

Does anyone know how the checks they made out to the husbands would affect disability? My husband gets his SS disability due to a very bad back.

Re: Final Distribution Approved today!

Your money that you will get will not  affect SS disability. I am also on SS disability and I have already received my money and my lawyer assured me that disability  would not be affected.

All I need to know I learned from Noah's ark.... Remember ,we are all in the same boat.
