About Phentermine
Phentermine is a drug used to achieve the short-term goal of helping you to begin to lose weight and then keep you losing weight when you are ready to do so on your own. Most people who are overweight have the desire to lose, but the desire is often not enough. Willpower is also needed. Phentermine can strengthen your willpower by making you feel less hungry, get full faster and by increasing the rate at which your body burns calories.
Phentermine is an effective drug for those obese patients who need the support of a strong and effective aid to weight loss. Obesity is a leading cause of premature death and impairment. Phentermine can help you on your way to a healthier, happier life.
Phentermine is an effective form of therapy for the obese patient that needs to lose weight to decrease diseases associated with significant obesity. The magnitude of the weight loss will depend on the degree of caloric restriction and the use of a graded exercise program.
How to take Phentermine
Phentermine medication is best taken on an empty stomach; one hour before breakfast each morning. Because phentermine medication may cause sleeplessness, avoid taking a dose late in the day. Take phentermine medication as prescribed. Do not take phentermine more often or longer than directed. Use in combination with other appetite suppressant medicine is generally not recommended.
Phentermine Drug Interactions
Inform your doctor about all the medicines you use, (prescription and nonprescription) especially if you take high blood pressure medicine or MAO inhibitors (e.g., furazolidone, phenelzine, selegiline, tranylcypromine) or any other weight loss medicine. Decongestants are commonly found in over-the-counter cough and cold medicine.
Phentermine Side Effects
MILD: Blurred vision, dry mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset or constipation may occur the first few days as your body adjusts to the phentermine medication. Other adverse events include central nervous system effects, gastrointestinal disturbances, and changes in libido. If these effects persist or become bothersome, you may have to discontinue use. Exercise caution when prescribing anti-obesity drugs for patients with hypertension. If phentermine medication makes you dizzy or lightheaded, avoid driving or engaging in activities requiring alertness. Alcohol can increase unwanted side effects of dizziness. Limit its use.
MODERATE: Chest pain, pounding heart, difficulty urinating, breathing difficulties or swelling while taking phentermine medication.
SEVERE: Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) and cardiac valvular disease have been reported in patients receiving a combination of phentermine and fenfluramine (phen-fen) or dexfenfluramine. The possibility of an association between PPH and the use of PHENTERMINE alone cannot be ruled out.
Contraindications
Phentermine is contraindicated in patients with arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and moderate to severe hypertension.
