Sympathomimetic agents have a poor history of long-term success in the treatment of obesity. From earlier experiences with amphetamine and its analogs, to more recent drugs with direct effects on adrenergic receptors or indirect effects from release of catecholamines or inhibition of reuptake, cardiovascular toxicity (strokes and cardiac arrhythmias) has been the major concern. These concerns also extended to food supplements containing ephedra alkaloids and may require consideration for current supplements containing the sympathomimetic drug, synephrine.
拟交感神经药在肥胖治疗方面长期以来疗效不佳。从早期使用苯丙胺及其类似物的经验,到近期对肾上腺素能受体有直接作用或通过释放儿茶酚胺或抑制再摄取产生间接作用的药物,心血管毒性(中风和心律失常)一直是主要问题。这些问题也延伸到含有麻黄生物碱的食品补充剂,对于目前含有拟交感神经药物辛弗林的补充剂可能也需要加以考虑。
