These findings were so serious that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) withdrew Fen-Phen and Redux from the market in 1997.Problems associated with the use of these diet drugs include:* serious heart murmurs,* heart valve leaks,* thickening of the heart valves, and* heart valve regurgitation, which is a build-up of a plaque-like substance on the heart valves.A 1997 report from the Mayo Clinic found heart valve dysfunction in 30% of Fen-Phen users who were tested.
