Neurotoxicity

The article appearing in the September 19 issue on fen-phen neurotoxicity erroneously states, ". . .the amphetamine-like drugs, fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine, offered in combination. . . ." Fen-phen is a combination of amphetamine-like fenfluramine and phentermine, and contains no serotonergic dexfenfluramine.
