What is the difference between Tenuate Diet Pills and Tenuate Dospan?
In Tenuate Dospan tablets, diethylpropion hydrochloride is dispersed
in a hydrophilic matrix. On exposure to water, the diethylpropion hydrochloride
is released at a relatively uniform rate as a result of slow hydration of the
matrix. The result is controlled release of the anorectic agent.

This is a simplified report on Tenuate and is not intended to replace discussions with a healthcare provider. Do not use this information as a substitute for your doctor's advice. Always consult your doctor before taking any drug and follow your doctor's directions.
What is Tenuate?
The chemical name of Tenuate, pronounced, TEN-you-ate, is diethylpropion pronounced, dye-eth-il-PROE-pee-on. Tenuate is an appetite suppressant used in conjunction with an overall diet plan and exercise to reduce weight. Each tablet contains 75mg of anorectic agent diethylproprion.
How does Tenuate work?
Tenuate works by
stimulating the hypothalamus gland and affects certain neurotransmitters to
decrease appetite. Tenuate stimulates the central nervous system which increases
your heart rate and blood pressure. Because Tenuate is chemically similar to
amphetamines, it has the potential for psychological dependency so it should be
used with caution
HOW EFFECTIVE IS TENUATE?
TENUATE is effective therapy for the obese patient who needs to loose weight to decease diseases associated with obesity. The magnitude of the weight loss will depend on the degree of concomitant caloric restriction and the use of a graded exercise program.
HOW LONG CAN I CONTINUE TO USE TENUATE?
TENUATE is a short-term drug that helps you to start losing weight and then keep on going when you are ready to carry on, on your own. Your body starts to build up a resistance to the effects of TENUATE after a few weeks of treatment, which is when you should be well on your way to a new lifestyle and ready to stop TENUATE. Appetite suppressants are not a substitute for proper diet. For maximum effects, this must be used in conjunction with a diet and exercise program.
