Pharmaceutical drug

Mefenorex (Rondimen, Pondinil, Anexate) is a stimulant drug which was used as an appetite suppressant. It is an amphetamine derivative which was developed in the 1970s and used for the treatment of obesity.[2][3] Mefenorex produces amphetamine as a metabolite,[4] and has been withdrawn in many countries despite having only mild stimulant effects and relatively little abuse potential.[5]
