Benzphetamine is a sympathomimetic amine, which is similar to an amphetamine. It is also
known as an "anorectic" or "anorexigenic" drug. Benzphetamine stimulates your central nervous system
(nerves and brain), which increases your heart rate and blood pressure and decreases your appetite.
Benzphetamine is used as a short-term supplement to diet and exercise in the treatment of
obesity.
Benzphetamine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
