...recommended dose for the shortest period of time, 11 weeks--changes in heart valves appeared to be not too serious. The longer that patients took the diet pills or the higher the dose, however, the greater the problems. (In the case of Redux, that meant taking more than 30 mg a day; for fenfluramine, more than 60 mg a day.) One study found that the risk of developing a heart-valve problem jumped 10- to 20-fold...

However, a subsequent experiment with a 100-mg pill backfired, having no beneficial effect, as did a return to 50 mg. Mesher nevertheless plans to continue with Viagra, inspired, perhaps, by the example...
CEASE C? Just 500 mg a day of vitamin C, a typical supplement dose, may be too much, suggests a British study. Taken at this level, the vitamin seems to cause genetic damage to part of the DNA. For now, you may be better off sticking to low doses--or getting C from food...
