Anorectic

Anorectic is a term used to describe a drug or substance that has the ability to reduce appetite, often leading to weight loss. Anorectics can be used to help people lose weight in conjunction with diet and exercise, as well as to treat certain conditions such as eating disorders and obesity. Anorectics work by stimulating the central nervous system and sending signals to the brain that suppress hunger and reduce the desire to eat. These drugs increase metabolism, which can help burn calories and fat. Some of the common anorectic drugs are phentermine, diethylpropion, and sibutramine. While these drugs can be effective, they are also associated with various side effects and should be used with caution.
