Regenon is an appetite suppressant, which is used in the short-term treatment of obesity with physically workouts and well balanced diet.

It is useful only during the first few weeks of a weight-loss program, because its appetite-reducing effect tends to decrease after a few weeks. Regenon can help you to lose weight while you are learning new ways to eat and to exercise.

Regenon is a sympathomimetic amine, which is similar to an amphetamine. It is also known as an "anorectic" or an "anorexigenic" drug. Regenon works by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system to help reduce your appetite and food intake.

Regenon is best recommended for people who have failed to loose weight on diet and exercise alone, and their obesity is caused by their eating behaviour.

Regenon comes as a regular and extended-release (long-acting) tablet. You must follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor to explain any part you do not understand. Regenon usually is taken three times a day, 1 hour before meals (regular tablets), or once a day in midmorning (extended-release tablets). Do not crush, chew, or cut extended-release tablets; swallow them whole. Regenon may be habit-forming. Call your doctor if Regenon loses its effect.

Along with its needed effects, Regenon may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.

If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking Regenon and seek emergency medical attention:

• an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
• an irregular heartbeat or very high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision); or
• hallucinations, abnormal behavior, or confusion.

• restlessness or tremor;
• nervousness or anxiety;
• headache or dizziness;
• insomnia;
• dry mouth or an unpleasant taste in your mouth;
• diarrhea or constipation, or
• impotence or changes in your sex drive.

• have a history of drug or alcohol abuse.

• problems with your thyroid;
• an anxiety disorder;
• epilepsy or another seizure disorder; or
