Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH) and Diet Drugs

PPH is a deadly lung disorder that can lead to heart failure. Doctors believe PPH is on the rise in the US because certain diet drugs that were used in the 1990s have been associated with the disease.

Fen-Phen

The diet drug Fen-phen, which was widely marketed and prescribed in the 1990s, has been most closely linked to PPH and hundreds of lawsuits have been settled or litigated against American Home Products Corporation, the company that made Fen-phen.

The company has paid millions of dollars to people who developed PPH after taking Fen-phen, Pondimin, or a similar drug marketed as Redux. Millions of people took these prescription drugs in the hope that they would lose weight and become healthier. Unfortunately, thousands of these people now suffer long term health risks or have developed a potentially fatal pulmonary artery disease.

The legal system can provide compensation for people victimized by the negligence of drug manufacturers. If you or a loved one has developed PPH as a result of taking Fen-phen, Fenfluramine and Phentermine, or Redux, you owe it to yourself, your family and the thousands of others victimized to take legal action against negligent drug companies.
