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: Got my check today!

I have no idea what becomes of the 7th echos, but most of those echos came from the original trust so either they or the 7th should be able to get you a copy.

> Hello, everyone.  I'm new to this site, just discovered it about 6 weeks ago.  I wish I had found it sooner.  I've learned more from the members here than I ever find out from my attorney.  I still haven't received my check.  I've called my attorney twice (didn't actually get to talk to him) and was told  they just received the money from the 7th (this was as of Monday).  On the interim distribution it took  4 1/2 months before I received my check.  Thanks for listening.

Re: Got my check today!

I talked to my attorney's office again asking when could I expect to receive a check.  I was told that the amount that was received from the 7th did not agree with their records and they were going to have to verify the amounts with the 7th and that this process had not been started.  I also asked to speak to an attorney and of course no one was available.  The person that I spoke to had no idea when I might expect a check.  You just can't get past the girl who answers the phone.  It's very frustrating.

Re: Got my check today!

Still haven't received my check.  Guess I might have to call the court or
CC to find out something.  My attorney sure isn't keeping me updated.

Re: Got my check today!

There are many individuals who are still waiting for approval for payment.  Remain patient - phone calls to class counsel or the court (especially now during summer session) will not expedite anything.  You should call and write your attorney inquiring when payment can be expected.
