What should I ask or tell my doctor if I have taken Fen Phen?
First, you need to tell your doctor if you have ever taken Pondimin (fenfluramine) or Redux (dexfenfluramine) for any period of time, either alone or in combination with other drug products. You also should be familiar with your past echocardiograms and you should take copies of the echocardiogram reports with you unless your doctor already has them. It is important that your doctor be made aware that you have taken one of these drugs in the past. You should also make sure to tell your doctor about all of your medical symptoms, and it is a good idea to write them down before your visit and take your notes with you to your next visit.
