苄非他明 (Didrex)

概览

Benzphetamine is a sympathomimetic used to manage exogenous obesity short term.

作用机制

The mechanism of action of these drugs is not fully understood, however it may be similar to that of amphetamines. Amphetamines stimulate noepinephrine and dopamine release in nerve endings in the lateral hypothalamic feeding centre, decreasing appetite. This release is mediated by the binding of benzphetamine to centrally located adrenergic receptors.

适应症
