Side Effects of Diet Pills

Primary pulmonary hypertension is not the only health risk associated with the use of both Redux and Pondimin. Dexfenfluramine and fenfluramine cause changes in brain cells to occur. There is some controversy as to whether these changes can be defined as brain cell damage. Definite cases of brain damage have been found in laboratory animals given the drugs but not in humans. Dr. George Ricaurte, a neurologist at the John Hopkins School of medicine says that while scientist don’t know whether dexfenfluramine produces the same brain damage in humans, they are concerned that it may.

Lewis Seiden, a neuropharmacologist at the University of Chicago cautions that damaged brain nerve cells may not be apparent for many years. So there is a possibility that the people who are currently taking redux, Adifax may not notice changes in their behavior or functioning till many years from now.
