Phentermine
More than just an appetite suppressant, phentermine is a powerful weight loss medication that provides serious results for those who want to lose a significant amount of weight within the first few weeks of dieting.
About Phentermine
Phentermine is a weight loss medication that has been approved for long-term weight loss and weight management. It is often used in combination with topiramate. Phentermine is recommended for long-term use to both lose weight, and to maintain loss. It is an incredibly safe, non-addictive medication that has been used for over 50 years. FDA approved for three months’ worth of use at a time, Phentermine has proven to have a very high success rate when used properly. Phentermine is taken once a day, typically in the morning so that it can suppress your appetite from breakfast through dessert. Over the course of a few hours, the medication will rise in your bloodstream, reaching its peak concentration in 3 to 5 hours. After this, it will slowly decline over the rest of the day.
How Does Phentermine Work?
Phentermine alone sometimes with topiramate extended-release (long-acting) capsules are used to help adults who are obese or who are overweight and have weight-related medical problems to lose weight and to keep from gaining back that weight. Phentermine works in your brain and nervous system, increasing the release of two neurotransmitters (dopamine and norepinephrine) in your brain to simulate metabolism and suppress hunger. Phentermine also works outside of the brain, triggering the release of adrenaline and epinephrine, hormones which have powerful fat-burning properties. Paired with a dietary strategy, phentermine achieves significant weight loss. The medication doesn’t lose the weight for you — rather, it helps you not think about eating. The diet you select should work well with your personality, habits, and lifestyle. It’s also important to exercise regularly.
Is Phentermine Right For You?
The only way to know for sure if phentermine is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Spencer at Nuderma Health. During the physician consultation, your medical history will be taken, and a physical exam will be performed to determine if phentermine is a good option.
If you do begin phentermine, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled shortly after you begin taking it to ensure the medication is working well with your body.
Your phentermine dosage will be adjusted according to your specific needs and health.
