Drug Combinations to Treat Obesity
Combined drug treatment using fenfluramine
and phentermine ("fen/phen") is no longer available due to the
withdrawal of fenfluramine from the market. Little information is available
about the safety or effectiveness of other drug combinations for weight
loss, including fluoxetine/phentermine, phendimetrazine/phentermine, Xenical/sibutramine,
herbal combinations, or others. Until more information on their safety
or effectiveness is available, using combinations of medications for weight
loss is not recommended except as part of a research study.
