Tesofensine is a weight loss medication specifically for obese people. It is supposed to reduce appetite and increase metabolism. Tesofensine is still being studied on humans, with final testing scheduled to be completed in 2009. Tesofensine is not currently available to consumers, but pending the study results, could be available sometime in 2009. Tesofensine will most likely seek FDA approval to become an actual weight loss medication (requiring a prescription) rather than just a diet pill supplement (supplements cannot be FDA approved).

Tesofensine Side Effects

The side effects of Tesofensine include dry mouth, constipation, insomnia, high blood pressure, and increased heart rate. The coming study will focus on any possible psychiatric side effects (such as the suicidal thoughts associated with Acomplia).

Who is behind Tesofensine?

Tesofensine is manufactured by NeuroSearch, a Danish company. NeuroSearch partners with proven companies including  GlaxoSmithKline and Abbott Laboratories.

NeuroSearch has an excellent website. It contains a wealth of information, including specific research results as well as press releases about the continuing research being done on Tesofensine.

Tesofensine Conclusion

This Tesofensine review finds Tesofensine is a promising weight loss medication. However, until the human research is concluded, we cannot endorse Tesofensine. If final testing continues to show the results shown by previous studies, Tesofensine could be a good choice for a weight loss medication. We look forward to learning more about Tesofensine as results become available. As with any prescription weight loss medication, you should speak with your doctor about your weight loss options and the possible side effects.
