Tenuate Diet Drugs
Tenuate is an appetite suppressant which
is prescribed for short-term use (a few weeks) as part of an overall weight
loss program that includes balanced diet, exercise, and counseling. The
drug is for use only by excessively overweight individuals who have a
condition, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol,
that might trigger serious medical problems. It is available in two forms:
immediate-release tablets (Tenuate) and controlled-release tablets (Tenuate
Dospan). Tenuate will lose its effectiveness within a few weeks. When
this begins to happen, you should discontinue the medicine rather than
increase the dosage.
