Abstract

The diet pills fenfluramine, dexfenfluramine and/or phentermine may increase the risk of heart valve insufficiency. This occurs when the valves do not close properly. Researchers analyzed the rate of heart valve insufficiency in 233 obese patients who had taken one or a combination of these pills and in 233 people who had not. Compared to those who did not take the pills, the risk of heart valve insufficiency was 12 times higher in obese people who took dexfenfluramine, 24 times higher in those who took dexfenfluramine and phentermine and 26 times higher in those who took fenfluramine and phentermine.
