Ionamin Reviews
Since Ionamin
is a brand name of the generic drug Phentermine, all of the published
research is on Phentermine.
Most of the
recently published studies of phentermine include its use in combination
with fenfluramine. One of the studies in which its effectiveness
alone was analyzed found that the drug resulted in an average
weight loss of 14 pounds after 20 weeks of treatment.
However, the
biggest concern about use of the combination product fen-phen
was the increased risk of heart-valve abnormalities.
In the May
2000 issue of Circulation, researchers reported on the
results of their extensive investigation into this problem. The
researchers stated that "findings suggest that valvular abnormalities
in patients who took fenfluramine-phentermine primarily involve
those who had taken these medications for more than 6 months and
predominantly results in mild aortic regurgitation."
This study
did not show the use of phentermine alone to be associated with
this heart condition.
