How to Lose Weight With Tenuate
Tenuate is a brand name for diethylcathinone, also known as amfepramone and diethylpropion, and is marketed as an appetite suppressant. It functions similarly to other sympathomimetic stimulants such as dextroamphetamine, phentermine and sibutramine. Tenuate causes the brain to release neurotransmitters such as dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine that suppress the appetite.
