ABOUT
TENUATE
Like other appetite suppressants, Tenuate / Diethylpropion tricks
your brain into believing your body is not hungry. Medical research
trials have shown Tenuate (Diethylpropion) and other appetite
suppressants lose effectiveness after just a few weeks as your
body learns to compensate for the presence of this chemical; this
is why Tenuate is not recognized as an obesity medication by the
European Union and other countries.
As Tenuate quickly loses its ability to suppress
a person's appetite you can see evidence of this in diet pill
forums where users discuss how their last order of Tenuate was
somehow less effective than the Tenuate order before. However,
instead of being honest with their customers, the illegal pharmacy
salespeople who run these forums are guilty of perpetuating the
myth that some Tenuate / Diethylpropion manufacturers are better
than others (and that they sell the "better" manufacturer's
pills of course). But the plain and simple fact is Tenuate appetite
suppressants become less effective over time, perhaps as little
as 6 weeks.
Clinical surveys indicate that Tenuate / Diethylpropion
is only suitable for helping someone who is clinically obese get
into a permanent fitness and weight loss program. So new users
of Tenuate may get the help they need to eat better and exercise
more initially, but simply taking Tenuate in itself is probably
not going to help them in the long term. The fact Tenuate is only
used to assist certain clinically obese people start to lose weight
is another reason why it is important to sit down and discuss
taking tenuate face-to-face with your family doctor, as they will
prescribe more than just a pill.
What is worrying many health officials is the
practice of some illegal Internet customers to switch from tenuate
to other appetite suppressants such as Adipex
/ Ionamin / Phentermine, Didrex,
Bontril (Phendimetrazine),
or Meridia (Sibutramine)
after they discover diethylpropion is no longer suppressing their
appetite sufficiently. This is a particularly dangerous thing
to do and which can not be cautioned against enough, especially
as clear evidence exists to show customers of illegal pharmacies
lie about their condition and what other drugs they have taken
/ are taking to ensure their order is filled. This all equates
to yet one more reason why the completion of an online medical
questionnaire is not adequate for controlled medications such
as Tenuate.
All of the drugs shown in our left hand navigation
column are controlled (scheduled) drugs and any Internet web site
which sells these without customers first obtaining a prior prescription
as a result of a face-to-face consultation with a US licensed
physician are illegal, period. Illegal pharmacies often cheat
their customers by sending them falsely described and / or even
dangerous drugs, or by short changing them (sending less pills
then the customer paid for) or by abusing their credit card details.
Illegal pharmacies are typically operated offshore by foreign
criminals committing fraud and money laundering offences; some
may even provide funds to anti-US terrorist groups.
Still Want Tenuate?
So go and see your physician; it makes sense in every respect.
If you have problems getting to a pharmacy, there are legal Internet
pharmacies called VIPPS pharmacies which
are certified. VIPPS pharmacies require customers to already have
a prescription for the drug they order.
What are the options?
Some prescription medications are not controlled / scheduled drugs
(those which appear in the right hand navigation column with an
asterisk* next to them), and therefore fall outside Federal law
(for now). So technically, if the US State you reside in has not
outlawed the Internet sale of these drugs to their residents,
you can still order these lawfully. But beware, even if your State
allows you to do this, perhaps by omission (where they have not
yet brought in legislation to outlaw the practice), you need to
be aware that the sales sites are not there to help you medically,
they exist to make money.
If you are in a US State that allows it and you
decide to buy a non-controlled / non-scheduled prescription alternative
to Tenuate without first getting a prescription from your own
physician, be aware that if a web site sells any of the controlled
/ scheduled drugs shown in the left hand navigation column (and
where they do not require you to have a prescription already),
they are an illegal Internet pharmacy (or agent of one) and you
should avoid these even for the sale of non-controlled items.
The final option is to buy non-prescription medications
from either your local pharmacy or the Internet. Be aware that
many if not most or even all non-prescription medications have
extremely optimistic to downright false claims made about how
effective and even safe they are; many have not even undergone
proper patient trials. We list non-prescription medications we
have been made aware of which appear to have reasonable or even
significant evidence behind them to show they are as effective
as the manufacturer / supplier claims although we do not verify
/ guarantee this. We do not sell any of the medications shown
on this site, especially not diethlypropion / tenuate!
