Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method for reducing the weight of a human and a method for reducing the adipose tissue mass/lean mass body mass ratio of a human or a domestic animal. In each method, an effective dose of a combination of ephedrine and caffeine are administered in a weight ratio of about 1:12, respectively, calculated on the amount of ephedrine in the form of the free base.
