Advise consultation: In adult patients with BMI calculated to be > 30 (obese category) it is advised to lose weight. Even 5-10% of your current weight will help lower your risk of developing diseases associated with obesity. Tenuate Retard (Diethylpropion) is appetite suppressant in the stimulant category that is used short term and prescribed under close physician supervision. Consult advised for lifestyle and diet.
