Fluminorex

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Fluminorex is a stimulant psychoactive drug which is classified under the amphetamine chemical class. It is related to 4-methylaminorex. Fluminorex has been identified as an ingredient in both purported "dietary supplements" and in recreational drug products sold as "legal highs".

History[edit | edit source]

Fluminorex was first synthesized in the 1960s and was patented by McNeil Laboratories. It was used as an anorectic, but was later withdrawn from the market due to concerns about its potential for abuse and addiction.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Fluminorex acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), increasing levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain. This leads to increased alertness, focus, and energy, as well as decreased appetite.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

In the United States, Fluminorex is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, meaning it has a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. It is also illegal in many other countries.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Common side effects of Fluminorex include insomnia, anxiety, tachycardia, and hypertension. Long-term use can lead to drug dependence and severe withdrawal symptoms.
