Drugs regulating appetite

 

These medications can either enhance or decrease appetite. Action has a direct impact on the hypothalamic appetite regulation centre, which includes the hunger and satiation centres.

Bitters are one class of drugs that enhance appetite (Amara). The things that taste strongly bitter are called bitters. Bitters irritate the stomach mucosa's and oral cavity's taste receptors, which increases gastric juice output and aids in digestion. Bitters are used to treating anorexia, hypoacidity (lower than normal levels of hydrochloric acid), and atrophic gastritis (aversion to food). Before meals, bitters should be consumed 15 to 30 minutes before. Agents include bitter (Amara) and wormwood (absinthium) tinctures, among others. Several flavours, including mint, pepper, and mustard, have bitter qualities.
