there is no imprint it is in the foil packs that you push the pill out and on the foil it says Tenuate (with an R circled on top) Retard Artegodan

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.

I'm not a pharmacist or a medical doctor. This message is not medical advice nor is it an offer to provide medical advice. All drug identifications should be validated by a licensed MD or pharmacist.

Thanks, Kirby.  I only guessed, (I never realized I was so horrible at translating "English")  Wow, I'd better start broadening my horizons.
