Lettuce Wrap - About Food and Stuff

Phentermine is used togther with diet and exercise to treat obesity (overweight) in people with risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. Studies have shown that Phentermine increases weight loss compared to a placebo in a double-blind study. 

Phentermine is a stimulant that is similar to an amphetamine, and acts as an appetite suppressant that affects the central nervous system.  But, like many other prescription drugs, is a centrally acting drug and may be habit forming.

Phentermine is available with a prescription under the brand names Adipex and Fastin. Other brand or generic formulations may also be available. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about this medication, especially if it is new to you.

Take this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not buy Phentermine without a prescription.  Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
