Abstract
Anorectics are clinically used in the management of obesity to accept dietary restriction through decreased desire of food intake. The present study, indicates that the drug SK & F 38393 a dopamine agonist given to albino rats at the doses of 1 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg caused decreased food intake. Central side effects observed with amphetamine and other related drugs were not observed with this drug. The drug thus may be used as an anorectic agent without central side effects.
