Amfepramone

Amfepramone is a psychostimulant aminoketone primarily used as an appetite suppressant. It acts mainly by the release of norepinephrine and dopamine in the central nervous system. The substance can lead to increased alertness and reduced feelings of hunger, but carries risks such as cardiovascular strain and potential for dependence.
