Tenuate Retard®
Diethylpropion 75 mg · Oral capsule
Short-course appetite suppressant for structured, time-limited weight loss.
Tenuate Retard® (diethylpropion 75 mg) is a slow-release appetite suppressant used in short courses (typically 4–6 weeks) alongside a calorie-controlled diet. It works on the central nervous system to reduce hunger signals, giving your new eating pattern a kickstart. Because of its mechanism, Tenuate Retard is prescribed only after a detailed clinician review and for a limited duration.
