Asenlix was a popular diet pill in the 1970s for both men and women. It quickly transitioned into athlete prescriptions for its positive effects on mood, alertness and reflexes. Asenlix is marketed by Aventis in Mexico but is no longer available in the United States. There is little information available on the drug and should not be taken without a doctor's evaluation and a valid prescription. As any drug, improper use can lead to dangerous side effects and drug interactions.
Definition
Asenlix is the brand name for Clorbenzorex which also is marketed under Dinintel, Finedal or Rexigen. This drug is used as an appetite suppressant. Asenlix is a class of anorectics (weight loss drugs) stimulant to the nervous system consisting of an nitrogen-substituted amphetamine analog that is converted through digestive enzymes into a true amphetamine.
"Greenies"
Asenlix has become popular in the United States among athletes. As a stimulant it increases awareness and reaction times while reducing fatigue. Baseball players gave them the nickname of "greenies" because of their light green color. While the slang began with this specific amphetamine drug, it now also refers to the generic brand as well as any amphetamine-class stimulants. Stimulants burn lean body mass and may not be a smart choice for athletes seeking to improve performance.
Benefits
Of course as a weight loss pill, Asenlix can be very attractive. The person taking the pill feels more energetic and alert while not finding themselves as hungry. By stimulating the metabolism, many people lose weight while feeling very active on Asenlix. It is easy to take in tablet form with a glass of water. Those who still have a prescription can have it filled in Mexico or through an online pharmacy.
Risks
Stimulants increase metabolism and burn cellular metabolism literally. There are many down sides to taking a stimulant such as Asenlix. The most common problem is the crash when the drug wears off, leaving the person in a depressed state and more fatigued than if they hadn't taken the drug. Serotonin reserves can be depleted with the body assuming that the stimulant will replace the need for serotonin. Major risks of stimulants are their effect on the heart, causing it to pump more vigorously, which can be a danger for those with heart issues. There is little research available on Asenlix, which makes using this drug all the more risky.
Border Patrol
Asenlix was originally prescribed in the 1970s as a diet pill and to athletes to improve performance. It is no longer sold in the United States but is legally marketed in Mexico and available in Canada. As a result, many within the United States seek the stimulant through online pharmacies and other means. Packages that cross the border may have Asenlix confiscated as a contraband substance.
