What is Phentermine |
 |
|
Phentermine is manufactured
and sold in different brand names, Adipex and Ionamin, or as a
generic. Phentermine comes in different forms - both tablets and capsules.
Phentermine is a prescription medication that is proven to
help people lose weight, and to keep the weight off.
Phentermine is an approved medication that is given to people
who are severely overweight, to those who are having trouble
keeping their weight down, and for people who are known to
gain weight easily.
Phentermine stimulates the central nervous system (nerves and
brain), which increases your heart rate and blood pressure. It
then in turn suppresses your appetite. Phentermine is used to
help people take control of their lives and their health --and
lose weight. Phentermine is a sympathomimetic amine, which is
similar to an amphetamine. In conjunction with proper
nutrition and an overall diet plan, it can help you reduce
your weight substantially.
Phentermine is indicated for patients with no underlying risk
factors (e.g., hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia)
and a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or greater.
Being generic, Phentermine is typically less expensive than
its commercially available name brands Ionamin and Adipex-P. |
