Abstract

Prescription medicines are progressively being abused to augment appearance. Information gleaned from the sporting arena is being extrapolated to the domestic market merely because of the increase in obesity in the population. The list of the types of drug use and their metabolic effects is diverse and includes drugs that are believed to increase the basal metabolic rate (clenbuterol, ephedrine, recombinant human growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-1 Long arm 3, thyroxine) prevent fat absorption (orlistat) or affect neurochemical modulators (sibutramine). Such drugs if used indiscriminately even with medical supervision, can cause serious long-term sequelae and call their use into question? These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
