Chlorphentermine (trade names Apsedon Desopimon Lucofen) is an appetite suppressant of the phenethylamine class. Developed in 1962 it is the 4-chloro derivative of the better known appetite suppressant phentermine which is still in current use.Chlorphentermine itself is a relatively weak stimulant with little abuse potential but is classed as a Schedule III drug in the USA due mainly to its similarity to other appetite suppressants such as diethylpropion which have been more widely abused.
