Phendimetrazine (Bontril?) is a weight loss medication. Phendimetrazine is
chemically related to amphetamines and is a Schedule III drug under the
Convention on Psychotropic Substances. In the United States, phendimetrazine is
a Schedule III controlled substance under the Uniform Controlled Substances Act
of 1970.
Phendimetrazine is used clinically in the form of phendimetrazine tartrate.
Approximately 30% of a given dose of phendimetrazine is metabolized into
phenmetrazine, which may account for part of its anorectic effect, and probably
also influences abuse potential; individuals who metabolise a greater proportion
of phendimetrazine into phenmetrazine are more likely to develop problems with
dependence and addiction.
