Levopropylhexedrine (Eventin) is a psychostimulant used as an anorectic in Germany[1][2] and patented by Smith Kline & French in 1947.[3] It has also been used in the anticonvulsant preparation barbexaclone in combination with phenobarbital to offset sedation.[4][5][6] Levopropylhexedrine is the levorotatory S-enantiomer of propylhexedrine. The dextrorotatory counterpart is known as dextropropylhexedrine.
