Whether there is a link or not is not clear. One study done in Europe has shown an increased tendency which has led to concern. I have had over 75 patients on this drug or the Fen- Fen combination without any severe side effects. However, if the Primary Pulmonary Hypertension bears up, I doubt that these drugs will be allowed on the market. Current side effects are dry mouth, constipation, and occasional trouble sleeping.
Most patients have no trouble with the usual side effects.
