Chlorphentermine

Chlorphentermine Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

A sympathomimetic agent that was formerly used as an anorectic. It has properties similar to those of dextroamphetamine. It has been implicated in lipid storage disorders and pulmonary hypertension. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1223)

Chlorphentermine is a relatively weak stimulant with little abuse potential. It presents a prominent serotonergic profile leading to pulmonary hypertension and cardiac fibrosis after prolonged use. Thus, this drug is no longer used.
