Your Legal Rights

Primary Pulmonary Hypertension has been associated with the appetite suppressants fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine. These suppressants are present in diet drugs such as Fen-Phen, Redux and Pondimin. The manufacturers of these diet drugs appear to have failed to do due diligence in discovering their risks.

If you have PPH and have taken Fen-Phen or a similar diet drug, your disease was most likely caused by using the diet drug. This means that the maker of Fen-Phen, American Home Products, may be liable for compensation. You may have a right to recover damages from them which can help defray the costs of treatment and provide compensation for your pain and suffering.

To determine your legal options, you should contact attorneys with substantial experience in PPH cases. You can do this by submitting this confidential contact form, or for more immediate attention you may call our offices at 1-888-452-5805.

American Home Products has already reached large settlements with former users of Fen-Phen. However, these settlements do not cover all people who have developed PPH.

If you are a victim of PPH and have taken diet drugs, you should gather the following information:

  • When did you take the diet drug?
  • Who is the doctor who prescribed the drug?
  • When were you diagnosed with PPH?
