Abstract
An unusual side effect of amphetamine-like drugs is described. A patient with acute cardiomyopathy was discovered to have been taking Fenfluramine and Mazindol at the prescribed dose. Within a week after abstention from the drugs and appropriate cardiac treatment her cardiomyopathy resolved. The authors suggest that this effect is due to the combination of the two drugs and represents a drug interaction.Keywords
