The group includes prescription CNS drugs commonly used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Phentermine was not shown to cause harmful effects.

•  Hydrogenation

  Hydrogenation is the chemical reaction that results from the addition of hydrogen (H2). The process is usually employed to reduce or saturate organic compounds. The process typically constitutes the addition of pairs of hydrogen atoms to a molecule. Catalysts are required for the reaction to be usable; non-catalytic hydrogenation takes place only at very high temperatures. Hydrogen adds to double and triple bonds in hydrocarbons.
