Phentermine for Weight Loss

Phentermine is one of the most common medications prescribed for weight loss.

This medication works by decreasing your appetite, and is used to help you during the first few weeks of a new diet and exercise program.

This medication will not cause you to lose weight by itself, but may help - if you also make changes in your lifestyle.

Phentermine has become so popular for weight loss that many people now make their purchases through online pharmacies, which offer "consultations" over the internet. That means that the prescription doesn't have to come from your family doctor. Before you go that route, you should first understand the benefits and risks, and discuss them with your own doctor.

Brand names: Adipex-P; Anoxine-AM; Fastin; Ionamin; Obephen; Obermine; Obestin-30; Phentrol

According to Medline Plus, phentermine should be taken for 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your response. It can be habit-forming, and should not be taken in a larger dose than prescribed. As with almost all medications, phentermine does have side-effects. Diabetics are advised that a larger dose of insulin could be needed while taking phentermine. This medication can also make you drowsy. Side effects are not common, but be sure to have your doctor or pharmacist discuss them with you, so that you can make an informed choice about your health care.

Does phentermine work?

Phentermine is an appetite-suppressing drug, and it does help - but only for a few weeks. Your doctors may prescribe this medication to help you begin a new diet and exercise program. After using the medication for a few weeks it loses it's effectiveness, and should only be used to help you begin healthy lifestyle changes.

This medication will not help you lose weight by itself - although it will help reduce your appetite for a while, it is the reduction in calories that causes any weight loss.

You can find a complete list of precautions and side effects that you should know about before using phentermine for weight loss on the Mayo Clinic website.
