By Michael Anchors, MD, PhD My friend in Dallas advised me that Dr. Byron Lee, a doctor in the suburbs, sells a product called “Phen-Pro” for which he claims to have a trademark. His website is www.BuyPhenPro.com. He may have the trademark–I haven’t checked–but I have the use patent for phentermine-Prozac. Lee’s product has nothing to do with me or with the real phen-pro. Instead, his is a mixture of
phenethylamine (an over-the-counter nasal decongestant) synephrine (ditto) caffeine naringin (?) hesperidin (?) capsaisin (the hot stuff in hot pepper) hordeinine (?) chromium polynicotate (mispelled, should be picolinate, it’s ineffective) yohimbine (an herb for male sexual potency) (?) I recall a product like this a few years ago, called “Phentramin”, another fake that was driving up blood pressure but didn’t lower weight. The name took advantage of patients’ difficulty spelling ‘phentermine”, the correct name. I do not know what specific diet advice Dr. Lee gives. He may be a very good weight loss doctor. Quien sabe? But this product is not a good idea. Hard to say if it’s dangerous since it doesn’t list dosages. “Phentramin” caused problems.
