CHLORPHENTERMINE
|
Chlorphentermine exerts anorectic properties. It is a synthetic amphetamine derivative claimed to have none of the excitatory effects of the parent substance. PRE-SATE (Chlorphentermine HCl) is an effective appetite suppressant with a pattern of pharmacologic action substantially different from those of traditional anorexigenics. In providing dependable appetite control with appreciable loss of body weight, PRE-SATE does not significantly increase central nervous system (CNS), cardio respiratory or metabolic activity.

Chlorphentermine is a stimulant drug which was used as an appetite suppressant. Developed in 1962, it is the 4-chloro derivative of the better known appetite suppressant phentermine, which is still in current use. A relatively weak stimulant with little abuse potential, but is classed as a Schedule 3 drug in the USA due mainly to its similarity to other appetite suppressants such as diethylpropion which have been more widely abused. It is no longer used due mainly to safety concerns, as it has a serotonergic effects profile similar to other withdrawn appetite suppressants such as fenfluramine and aminorex which were found to cause pulmonary hypertension and cardiac fibrosis following prolonged use.
