TESOFENSINE

USES & BENEFITS

Tesofensine works by inhibiting the reuptake of three neurotransmitters in the brain: dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. By inhibiting the reuptake of these neurotransmitters, tesofensine increases their concentration in the brain, which can lead to decreased appetite, increased energy expenditure, and weight loss.

In addition to its potential as an anti-obesity drug, tesofensine has also been investigated for its potential use in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as for its effects on cognitive function and mood.

Weight loss

• Tesofensine has been shown in clinical trials to cause significant weight loss in overweight and obese individuals.

Improved cognitive function

• Tesofensine has been shown in some studies to improve cognitive function and working memory in healthy individuals and in people with cognitive impairment.

Potential treatment for Parkinson's disease

• Tesofensine has been investigated as a potential treatment for Parkinson’s disease, as it has been shown to improve motor function and reduce symptoms in animal models of the disease.

Potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease

• Tesofensine has also been investigated as a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, as it has been shown to improve cognitive function and reduce the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques in animal models of the disease.
