Phendimetrazine, a sympathomimetic amine, was introduced in
1961 for use as an anorexic agent. It retains a place in the treatment of obesity.
However, since it has been subject to abuse and because dependence can occur,
phendimetrazine is controlled under Schedule IV of the 1971 Convention on
Psychotropic Substances.
