Review
Summary |
Pondimin, or Fenfluramine Hydrochloride, is an anorectic drug used in managing exogenous obesity. It is considered to be a short-term adjunct in a calorie-restricted diet regimen. The primary function of anorectics is appetite suppression. |
| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
The active ingredient in Pondimin is Fenfluramine. This drug is a controlled substance and is chemically related to amphetamines. The consumer is advised, from the outset, to avoid Pondimin at all costs, as the potential dangers are too high for the drug to be of any benefit. These dangers include the following:
Dizziness, confusion, in-coordination, headache, moodiness, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, libido fluctuation, agitation, constipation, nausea and abdominal pain, sweating, blurred vision, chills, dysuria, heart palpitations, hypo- and hypertension, fainting, pulmonary hypertension, rash, eye irritation, fever, chest pain, and a burning sensation in the skin. If this list has not made it obvious, there is little or no reason to take, or even consider, Pondimin. It should be noted that pulmonary hypertension has a high mortality rate, and some studies have shown that the risk of pulmonary hypertension increases by more than 30% when an individual has been taking Pondimin for three months or more.
As an amphetamine relative, Pondimin can become addictive, and people have abused the drug since its arrival on the market in the 70s. Contraindications include glaucoma, alcoholism, psychotic illness, and anesthesia. It seems redundant to say that pregnant or nursing mothers should not take Pondimin, since it seems that no one, but no one, should be taking Pondimin.

| Conclusion |
|
Pondimin seems to be a good example of the extraordinary lengths to which people will go, whether manufacturers or consumers, in order to drop a few pounds. Ingesting amphetamines or amphetamine-like substances in order to look better is an impulse that exposes the dregs of the diet market and the vanity culture on which that market thrives. There is simply no replacement for the body’s natural ability to heal and manage itself through a balanced diet and regular exercise. Drugs like Pondimin are an abomination and ought to rightly be pulled from the market. If you are seeking a weight loss supplement, be sure and choose a natural product with ingredients that address both aspects of successful dieting. A proven fat-burner is needed to address excess fat on the arms, belly, hips, thighs and buttocks, and a modern appetite suppressant is needed to control caloric intake and help curb cravings. Effective weight loss happens when both dieting needs are addressed. Add a healthy eating plan, and exercise – and you will have success.
