Doctors believe that Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH) is on the rise. And judging from the amount of PPH class action lawsuits [filed], so does the legal profession. PPH is one of the most insidious of illnesses because it can take up to ten years or more to be diagnosed: people who took diet drugs such as Fen Phen or Redux in the 1990s

Ten years after the Mayo Clinic study that lead to the recall of the diet drug fen phen, more and more cases of primary pulmonary hypertension are emerging in former fen phen users, and lawsuits are on the rise.

Many PPH sufferers think the statute of limitations has come and gone regarding lawsuits against diet drugs Pondimin (fenfluramine) and Redux (dexfenfluramine). But you can still join a PPH class action lawsuit if PPH was linked to Fen Phen.
