    Abstract:
    In a multi-centre trial of mazindol ('Teronac'), a new anorectic agent unrelated to amphetamine, 274 male and female patients were treated by 53 investigators in Eire. All patients were overweight according to the Metropolitan Life Assurance Company Tables, and 166 patients completed the treatment regime of one 2 mg. tablet daily and a 100 calorie diet for 12 weeks. The average weight loss was 18.8 lbs. (8.5 kg.); 85% of patients reported good appetite supression and good ability to adhere to their diet, and the attending physicians rated mazindol as being of considerable help in 92% of the patients. Mazindol was well tolerated, only 29 patients dropped out of the trial because of side-effects.
