Bontril
Bontril is the brand name of Phendimetrazine,
produced by Carnrick Laboratories Inc. Bontril is an appetite
suppressant and central nervous system stimulant. It stimulates
the satiety (feeling of fullness) centre in the hypothalamus
and limbic regions of the brain. Bontril must be used in combination
with a low calorie diet, behaviour modification and regular
exercise. Appetite suppressants are not a substitute for proper
diet. If any weight is lost using Bontril, our research shows
that it is usually regained shortly after the patient discontinues
the medication.
Bontril has caused different side effects
like restlessness, anxiety, dizziness, headache, insomnia,
diarrhea, dry mouth and changes in the patients sex drive,
allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, closing of the throat,
swelling of lips or tongue), hallucinations, extreme hypertension,
chest pain, pounding heart and difficulty urinating. Bontril
can also be habit forming. You can become physically and psychologically
dependent on this medication, and withdrawal effects may occur
if you stop taking it.
