Description
Phentermine is a prescription medication primarily used for short-term weight loss in individuals who are obese or overweight and have at least one weight-related condition.
Key aspects of Phentermine:
- Mechanism: It belongs to a class of drugs called anorectics, working by decreasing appetite. It’s believed to stimulate the release of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, which helps suppress appetite and may increase energy expenditure.
- Usage: Phentermine is intended for short-term use, usually for a few weeks, alongside a reduced-calorie diet and exercise program.
- Efficacy: It can be effective in helping individuals lose weight when combined with lifestyle changes. However, the amount of weight loss can vary from person to person.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include increased heart rate, high blood pressure, insomnia, dry mouth, and constipation. More serious side effects, though rare, can include pulmonary hypertension and heart valve problems.
