This medication is not available in the United States, however, it may be available elsewhere. Carbinoxamine/pseudoephedrine may cause some appetite suppression, but it is not a weight loss drug and should never be used for this purpose. Overdose of carbinoxamine/pseudoephedrine can be dangerous. Also, taking carbinoxamine/pseudoephedrine with weight loss or appetite control drugs can also be dangerous, so consult your doctor before combining these drugs.
