Welcome to Healthcare Magic
The active ingrediet of this drug is Phentermine. It is known to cause many side effects, the most dangerous of all being pulmonary artery hypertension and high chance of pulmonary embolism which can cause chest pain, shortness of breath and sudden death. You must understand many women have died because of pulmonary embolism of taking this drug. You should go to the ER immediately if you have these symptoms as it can be dangerous for your health if you delay.
