Phentermine~ Drastic weight loss!

Phentermine for obesity

phentermine Adipex-P Ionamin


How It Works

Phentermine suppresses your appetite so that you feel less hungry. It works
by changing levels of brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that affect mood
and appetite. It may also slightly increase the rate at which your body
burns calories.

Why It Is Used

Appetite suppressant medications such as phentermine help people who are
obese (those with a body mass index of 30 or higher) to lose weight. They
are generally used with a weight-loss diet and exercise program.

How Well It Works

Weight loss varies depending on how long the medication is taken. A review
of research reports that using:1
15 to 30 mg of phentermine daily resulted in about 1 lb to 13 lb more
weight loss than when using a placebo. The medication was used from 2
weeks to 24 weeks, with an average use of about 13 weeks. Most of the
people using phentermine in the studies reviewed also made lifestyle
changes, such as diet or exercise.

Side effects of phentermine include:

Nervousness.
Irritability.
Sweating.
Nausea.
Headache.
Dry mouth.
Constipation.
Sleep problems.
Possible addiction.

Most of these side effects are mild, and they usually improve with
continued treatment.

See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not
available in all systems.)

What To Think About

Phentermine is no longer marketed in Europe due to a possible association
with heart and lung problems.1

It is not known whether these medications are safe to take for more than a
few weeks.

Weight generally is regained after stopping medication.

The best weight-loss medication program will also incorporate a weight-loss
diet and exercise.
