Cloforex (Oberex) is an anorectic of the amphetamine class. It is a prodrug to chlorphentermine. It is an appetite-reducing agent, used to treat obesity. The Ministry of Health withdrew preparations containing cloforex as a precautionary measure pending scientific evidence of a relationship between their use and the development of pulmonary hypertension. In Europe Cloforex was approved in 1968 and discontinued in 1969.
