Etolorex is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant and anorectic drug belonging to the substituted amphetamine and phenethylamine chemical classes. Etolorex was derived from phentermine, an amphetamine derivative in its own right frequently prescribed as a weight loss drug for the treatment of obesity with a positive side effect of CNS activation and energizing the patient.[1][2] Etolorex, for unknown reasons, was never marketed.[1]
