    Summary dose.wiki TripSit

    Aminorex is an amphetamine-like stimulant that was originally marketed for weight loss but withdrawn due to its association with pulmonary arterial hypertension, which can be fatal. It is considered illicit in most countries (Schedule I in the US). There is a significant risk of pulmonary hypertension with extended use.
