THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Anorexiant
ACTION
TENUATE
®
(diethylpropion hydrochloride) is a psychomotor stimulant with
anorectic,
sympathomimetic and other effects similar to those of amphetamines. As
with all other
drugs of this class in which the phenomenon has been studied, the
initial rate of weight loss
decreases until a plateau is reached; a regain of weight thereafter
even though drug
administration is continued has been reported. As with similar drugs,
rebound weight gain
also may occur after discontinuation of TENUATE
®
.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
A psychomotor stimulant used as an adjunct in the short-term (i.e. a
few weeks) to
continued dietary treatment in the medical management of obesity, in
patients who have
not responded to an appropriate weight reducing regimen (diet and/or
exercise) alone.
TENUATE
®
is recommended only for obese patients with an initial body mass index

in the presence of other risk factors (e.g. hypertension, diabetes,
hyperlipidaemia).
Below is a chart of Body Mass Index (BMI) based on various heights and
weights. BMI is
calculated by taking the patient’s weight, in kilograms, divided by
the patient’s height in
meters and squared. Metric conversions are as follows:

Pounds(lbs)/2.2 = kilograms (kg)
