Sympathomimetic appetite suppressants are used in the short-term treatment of obesity. Their appetite-reducing effect tends to decrease after a few weeks. Because of this, these medicines are useful only during the first few weeks of a weight-loss program. The sympathomimetic appetite suppressants can help you to lose weight while you are learning new ways to eat and to exercise. Changes in eating habits and activity level must be developed and continued long-term in order for you to continue losing weight and to keep the lost weight from returning.
These medicines are available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage forms:
Oral
Benzphetamine
Tablets (U.S.)
Diethylpropion

Extended-release tablets (U.S. and Canada)
