I was wondering if anyone has responded to those ads that run constantly on TV regarding Fen-Phen?

There is supposedly some class action law suit for survivors/beneficiaries of Fen-Phen use. Apparently, it leads to hyper-pulmonary tension or something like that.

I took it, for about 2 weeks, but I don't think I've had any ill effects from it. It was prescribed to me when I was on a protein sparing fast (liquid protein shakes through doctor's clinic.)

The ads are placed by several different legal firms who offer a free health exam, even if you don't have any symptoms.

Has anyone called about these ads?
