What is Tenuate?
Tenuate is one of the trade names of Diethylpropion (another trade names are Regenon, Neobes, Dietec, Liposlim).
It was approved by FDA to help overweight patients, who need to lose weight, to minimize risk of diseases associated with significant obesity, in 1959.
Tenuate is an appetite suppressant that works by stimulating the central nervous system and raising your blood pressure and slowing your heart rate.
The appetite-reducing effect tends to decrease after a few weeks. The duration of the Tenuate treatment is normally four to six weeks and should not be longer than three months.
How and when should I take Tenuate?
Tenuate comes as a regular and extended-release (long-acting) tablet.
The 25mg regular tablets should be taken three times a day – one hour before meals.
The 75mg extended-release (long-acting) tablet should be taken around 10-14 hours before bedtime.
Should you miss a dose, take that dose as soon as possible, unless it is almost time to take
your next dose. If this is the case, skip the missed one, and carry on with your schedule as you usually would.
Do not crush, chew, or cut extended-release tablets; swallow them whole.
