TENUATE (Diethylproprion hydrochloride) is a
sympathomimetic amine, which is similar to an amphetamine. It is
also known as an "anorectic" or an "anorexigenic" drug. Tenuate
stimulates the central nervous system (nerves and brain), which
increases your heart rate and blood pressure and decreases your
appetite. Tenuate is used as a short-term supplement to diet and
exercise in the treatment of obesity.
