** Labels hide diet drug mixture risk - U.S. research
BOSTON (Reuters) - Outdated labeling hides a popular diet drug's
dangerous side effects when combined with antidepressants such as
Prozac or cold remedies like Sudafed, researchers said Friday. The
diet drug phentermine - the "phen" in the now banned combination
fen-phen - has been used in the U.S. since 1961 and remains on the
market. It is widely prescribed to treat obesity. But the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration has never updated the drug's warning label to
include crucial information, according to researchers at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts College
of Pharmacy. Phentermine blocks the body's ability to remove
serotonin from the blood stream. See
