mazindol and Muscular Dystrophy

mazindol has been researched along with Muscular Dystrophy in 11 studies

Mazindol: Tricyclic anorexigenic agent unrelated to and less toxic than AMPHETAMINE, but with some similar side effects. It inhibits uptake of catecholamines and blocks the binding of cocaine to the dopamine uptake transporter.
