Phentermine Weight Loss

How phentermine weight loss works in dieting

Phentermine Weight Loss is a class of drugs called anorectics which decrease appetite by possibly changing brain levels of neurotransmitters associated with satiety. It is a prescription weight loss pill that is used together with a low calorie diet for a medical weight management intervention.

Phentermine Weight Loss is the most commonly prescribed appetite suppressant accounting for over 50% weight loss prescription in the U.S, probably because it is cheaper than the alternatives sibutramine weight loss and orlistat weight loss. 

The use of weight loss medication in resistant and morbidly obese individuals is a strategy that can be used to jumpstart a weight loss plan. Diet supplements like Caralluma offer non-prescription over-the-counter alterantives.

Phentermine weight loss is available as a capule, tablet or extended release capsule (resin capsule). 

It is manufactured under different trade names including lonamin® by Medeva Pharmaceutical and Adipex-P® by Gate Pharmaceuticals. 

Generics include Profast Anoxine-M, Phentercot, Pro-Fast, Teramine, Zontryl, Obenix and Phentride as generics.

The FDA approved phentermine as a weight loss drug in 1959. 

It was approved for short term use i.e. 8-12 weeks. 

Since it is a drug with potentially habit forming characteristics, it is classified as a controlled substance in many countries.

Phentermine stimulates nerves to release particular neurotransmitter called catecholamine.

These neurotransmitter eliminate the sense of hunger by putting your body in a small extent of "fight or flee’. This is the state your body takes when faced with danger. As you know if you see a car coming to hit you, you will not be aware of any hunger. Phentermine and other similar weight loss drugs like sibutramine and fenfluramine tend to mimic this state of "flight or flee" to some extent with their effect on neurotransmitters. 

With the continued use of phentermine however, the effect of depressed appetite tend to wear off after a few weeks. This is why it is recommended for short term treatment. Some studies point to the possibility that this drug tolerance that results to reduced effect varies with individuals. One study has show phentermine to be still effective in a 3 year trial.

The dosage is one capsule/tablet per day approximately two hours before breakfast and at least 10 –14 hours before going to bed for the night. Otherwise the drug can cause insomnia.

Less common side effects are chest pains, lower tolerance to exercises or reduced ability to exercise, swelling of feet or lower legs and trouble breathing. This side effect can easily be symptoms to more serious problems. If you exhibit them you need to see your doctor urgently. 

When a doctor chooses to include a weight loss drug into your weight loss regime they take into consideration the benefits you will accrue and the possible side effects. This should be the same approach to any other support structure.
