If you've ever felt guilty, ashamed, or embarrassed for failing to reduce weight with strict eating and exercise plans, you should stop immediately. It's not your fault. After all, in today's busy day and age, we can't be expected to have the time, energy, and willpower needed to trim the weight and keep it off for good. That's why majority of people fail to drop the pounds. Apart from engaging yourself in a vigorous exercise and dieting plan, try adding a diet suppressant to your daily regime. Dieticians believe that this leads to a quick and healthy weight loss goal.

Tenuate belongs to the family of an appetite suppressant which is prescribed for a short term use as part of an overall diet plan for weight loss. It is used in addition to dietary measures in the management of people who have not responded to an appropriate weight reducing alone. The benefits of this medicine are seen within a few weeks. Tolerance to the appetite suppressant effects usually develops within a few weeks, at which time the drug will become ineffective and use should be discontinued Hence its use is not recommended beyond a few weeks.

It is an appetite suppressant that causes one to feel less hungry. It works by stimulating a vital part of our brain called the Hypothalamus in the brain, which is responsible for controlling our appetite.

Cautions should be taken while using Tenuate. If a dose of Tenuate is missed, take it as soon as possible. But it is not recommended to take a double dose at once. However it is very important to take this medicine as per doctor's recommendation. Do not take it more often or longer than directed. Use in combination with other appetite suppressant medicine is generally not recommended.

Usage of Tenuate may in some cases lead to some side effects like dry mouth, blurred vision, sleeplessness and upset stomach. If these side effects persist and become bothersome, better discontinue it. But over all Tenuate is a very effective suppressant and is result oriented.
