Camri,

Phendimetrazine is also known as Bontril. Some Physicians prescribe Bontril with Phen, the FDA has issued a WARNING against this practice.

From what I could see researching Phendimetrazine using www.google.com, it is cheaper than Phentermine, but considered slightly less effective by some web sites. I will post some of the web sites I found at the bottom.

From the FDA web site:
http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/safety/1998/plegin.htm

Wyeth-Ayerst (maker of Phendimetrazine) has received information concerning patients who had taken phendimetrazine and experienced valvular abnormalities and/or primary pulmonary hypertension. It appears that all patients had a history of using at least one other anorexigen (other diet drugs)

Phendimetrazine is not indicated for concomitant use with any other anorexigenic drug. Wyeth-Ayerst does not recommend such concomitant use and does not know of any adequate and well-controlled studies demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of these drugs when used in combination.
Phendimetrazine is not indicated for long-term use. The labeling clearly states that it is indicated only for short-term use of a few weeks.

I can NOT vouch for the validity of the claims of the below mentioned web site, but it did have some information. http://www.xenical-vs-phen********vs...iet_pills.html
