guanethidine and Weight Gain

guanethidine has been researched along with Weight Gain in 3 studies

Guanethidine: An antihypertensive agent that acts by inhibiting selectively transmission in post-ganglionic adrenergic nerves. It is believed to act mainly by preventing the release of norepinephrine at nerve endings and causes depletion of norepinephrine in peripheral sympathetic nerve terminals as well as in tissues.
guanethidine : A member of the class of guanidines in which one of the hydrogens of the amino group has been replaced by a 2-azocan-1-ylethyl group.
guanethidine sulfate : A organic sulfate salt composed of two molecules of guanethidine and one of sulfuric acid.

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.
