TENUATE® (diethylpropion 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 decreases your appetite. Tenuate is used as a short-term
supplement to diet and exercise in the treatment of obesity.
