Phentermine

Phentermine is an FDA-approved prescription weight loss medication. It works as an appetite suppressant and mild stimulant, helping individuals feel full faster and reducing cravings. It is typically prescribed as a short-term tool (up to 12 weeks) alongside a medically supervised program that includes nutrition, activity, and lifestyle change.

How It Works

  • Acts on the central nervous system to decrease hunger signals.

  • Increases energy and alertness, making it easier to stay active.

  • Helps create the calorie deficit necessary for weight loss.

Benefits of Phentermine

  • Supports initial weight loss when starting a new program.

  • Helps with portion control and reduces snacking.

  • Can improve motivation and adherence to lifestyle changes.

  • Often prescribed for individuals with BMI≥27 with weight-related conditions, or BMI ≥30.

Important Notes

  • Short-term use only (commonly 8-12 weeks)

  • Works best as part of a comprehensive program (diet, exercise, accountability).

  • May cause mild side effects such as dry mouth, insomnia, or increased heart rate.

  • Not suitable for everyone – requires medical screening before starting.
