Abstract
Abuse of dieting agents is a frequent, but often unrecognized, problem in patients with eating disorders. Especially women suffering from bulimia nervosa tend to abuse diet pills containing amphetamines and laxatives, diuretics, caffeine and emetics. In this review the frequency of substance abuse in bulimic women, the side effects and possible health risks of this abuse are discussed.
