Nov. 5, 2008 -- Two banned obesity drugs may have lingering effects on the heart, according to a new study. The study shows that heart valve problems linked to the banned obesity drugs fenfluramine and/or dexfenfluramine typically last years after stopping those drugs. The FDA ordered fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine off the market in September 1997 after those drugs were linked to heart valve problems. Fenfluramine was one of the ingredients in fen-phen , and dexfenfluramine is closely related to fenfluramine.
