Phentermine is a weight loss medication approved for long-term weight loss and weight management, often used in combination with topiramate. It is recommended for extended use to help individuals not only lose weight but also maintain their weight loss. Phentermine is a remarkably safe, non-addictive medication that has been trusted for over 50 years. FDA-approved for use in three-month cycles, Phentermine has demonstrated a very high success rate when used correctly.
The best way to determine if Phentermine is the right option for you is to schedule a consultation with our specialists at Revival Health and Wellness. During this consultation, we’ll review your medical history and perform a physical exam to assess whether Phentermine is a suitable choice for your needs.
If you start Phentermine, we'll schedule a follow-up appointment shortly after to ensure the medication is working effectively with your body. Our specialists will tailor your Phentermine dosage to meet your specific health needs. Many of our patients also take Topiramate in conjunction with Phentermine. Topiramate is an anticonvulsant and nerve pain medication that can enhance the effectiveness of your weight loss regimen.
Doctors typically recommend Phentermine for patients with an unhealthy height-to-weight ratio, known as body mass index (BMI). It is generally prescribed for individuals with a BMI greater than 25.
However, Phentermine is not suitable for everyone. Individuals with coronary heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, or a history of drug abuse should not take Phentermine.
Phentermine is typically taken once a day in the morning, allowing it to suppress your appetite throughout the day, from breakfast to dessert. The medication gradually rises in your bloodstream, reaching its peak concentration within 3 to 5 hours. After peaking, it slowly declines over the course of the day, continuing to support your weight loss efforts.
Phentermine acts partially as a stimulant, so it's essential to monitor your blood pressure if you choose to start taking it. The most common side effects include
Dry mouth
Increased heart rate
Increased blood pressure
Temporary diarrhea
Insomnia
Constipation
Nervousness
Keeping an eye on these potential side effects will help ensure that the medication is working safely for you.
