"Anorectics, anorexigenics or appetite suppressants are drugs that reduce the desire to eat ("anorectic", from the Greek an- = "not" and oreg- = "extend, reach").
("Anorectic" is also a term for an anorexic person, a person suffering from Anorexia nervosa.) Compare to "anorexic" alone which simply means, "without appetite". By contrast, anorexia nervosa, is a mental disorder regarding the loss of appetite."
