THe foil says what it is:

THe foil says what it is: Tenuate Retard with the registered name symbol (small capitol R in a circle) made by Artegodan, a German pharmaceutical

THis an extended release version of Tenuate, called Tenuate Slow.

Here's info (in German) on it:

Net Doctor, Germany - Tenuate Retard

 

and a rough translation of it - from Google.

Here's a stupid question,

Here's a stupid question, but is this med an appetite suprresant? The Retard translation helped, but I'm pretty bad at translating bad engrish.

Tenuate

Yes, gtrplayer, the med is the same as Tenuate Dospan Extended Release (diethylpropion), an appetite suppressant.

The word retard in some languages means extended release, controlled release or delayed release. I think I've also seen the word depot which means the same thing.

WOW, this is an old thread!

 

I got the same thing today.  I ordered it and it came along with a prescription and instructions in German!

 

I've been researching up on it, and it supposed to work pretty good. We'll see :)

 

It is a diet pill but is time released. I got the same ones the first poster posted.

 

Cheaper than adipex and heard they were better.
