Dexfenfluramine is an appetite suppressant similar to fenfluramine which, combined with the diet drug phentermine, became the most popular anti-obesity treatment known as Fen Phen.

Redux and Pondimin were indicated for the treatment of obesity as part of a broader weight management program, including diet and exercise. Obesity left untreated, can lead to a host of life threatening health complications, like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
On September 15, 1997, Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories voluntarily withdrew from the market two prescription drugs for the treatment of obesity, Redux and Pondimin. This step was taken after the FDA presented to Wyeth new and preliminary information about possible heart valve abnormalities in patients using these products.
