Fen-Fenn was a combination of two existing diet pills, one called Fentermine and the other Fen-Fluoramine. The side effects were so dramatic that people didn't want to take it. This is also happening in the 80s and 90s when more than just weight loss was taking center stage. So these drugs are being rebranded as multiple different drugs.
Fen-Phen & Redux were "the next miracle drugs" in the '90s, claiming to help people lose dramatic amounts of weight in just three months. But within a few short years, they'd been pulled from the market. They were just too effective! (Just kidding, they killed some people.)
