Bontril Diet Pill Review

Bontril is a sympathomimetic drug that is classified as an anorexigenic – it functions as an appetite suppressant. It is indicated to those who are suffering from excessive weight and it is used as adjunct therapy with diet / caloric management. It comes in two forms – tablet and capsule. It is available in 105 mg as a sustained release (taken once a day) and 35 mg as an immediate release (taken two to three times a day).

How Does Bontril Work?

As a sympathomimetic drug, it mimics the effects of the sympathetic system. There is increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, increased visual acuity, and increased blood glucose levels. One of the most prominent effects of sympathetic system is the general vasoconstriction of the blood vessels of the body. Thus, there is decreased blood flow to the heart and brain.  The heart compensates by increasing the heart rate which results to palpitation and increased blood pressure. The appetite center is located in the brain – as there is decreased blood flow to the brain, the appetite is suppressed. The overall result of which is weight loss.
