I was think in terms of an overall concern by the end user. It raises concerns about combining medications. Because of countless combinations, most drugs are approved as monotherapy, but frequently they are combined, based on individual trials.

The potential problems could therefore generate additional concerns. I expect future treatments to increasing rely on combination approaches and I'm not sure how much real impact the potential problems of combining the fen/phe drugs really poses.

The initial data that I saw seemed to point very strongly to Redux and Pondimin since patients taking Redux alone developed heart valve problems. The data being presented seems to raise concerns that has not been demonstrated in the patient population, but the theoretical possibilities may raise concerns that are not real.
