Abstract
Phentermine is a sympathomimetic agent found commonly in weight-loss products. Sympathomimetics have been linked to the development of hypertension, which can lead to cardiovascular and neurologic hemorrhages. We believe that the SAH in this patient was likely secondary to drug-induced hypertension or vasculopathy from the phentermine.
