Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method for reducing weight by the, administration of L-Dopa or a stabilized form thereof with or without a decarboxylase inhibitor and Molindone wherein Molindone acts as a potentiator to enhance the weight reducing potency of L-Dopa in warm-blooded animals. The synergistic effect of the combination of L-Dopa and Molindone reduces the required dosage of the two drugs to levels which can be tolerated by higher forms of mammals, whereas individually the dosages required to reduce weight in higher mammals is not easily tolerated and may be toxic or lead to undesirable side effects.
