Aminorex: The Expert Advisory Committee on Drugs (EACD) Advice to the Minister

Date of publication: Oct 2002

This paper considers the central nervous system stimulant aminorex - a drug that was used in the past as an appetite suppressant and has amphetamine-like effects.

Aminorex is not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 (the Act). The Expert Advisory Committee on Drugs (EACD) recommends to the Minister of Health that aminorex be classified as a Third Schedule Part 5 controlled drug (Class C5).
