Certain diet drugs, like Fen-Phen and Redux®, once were publicized as wonder drugs that could be better at helping people lose weight than diet and exercise. Studies, though, have shown many harmful side effects that are possible for people who have taken these drugs. Even though this combination of drugs was banned in 1997, the full effects may only now be evident.
