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.

On the Trust website...

For anyone who's interested in knowing about this kind of information, the trust has posted on it's website the complete refund plan and all it's exhibits.

The exhibits include a complete listing of everyone who recieved matrix payments from the trust prior to the common benefit fee reduction. You can look at these lists  (separated as to pro se and represented) and see exactly how much each DDR# has recieved from the trust as matrix compensation and how much each of them will recieve as a common benefit refund. Nobody is identified by name...it's just DDR# and initials.

Nope, as far as I know it hasn't been approval yet. I'm not watching for it very closely though, so maybe it has been and I just missed seeing it.  I don't expect to actually see the refund itself until at least the end of summer, so if it arrives before then I'll be pleasantly surprised. Everything takes forever and a day.
