Phentermine is one of the most popular anti-obesity diet pills known to dieters across the world. It is a diet pill used for the short-term management and treatment of obesity.

Phentermine is readily available in its 15, 30 and 37.5 mg tablets and extended-releases. It usually is taken as a single daily dose in the morning or three times a day 30 minutes before meals for maximum effectiveness.

However, using Phentermine on a daily basis can be habit-forming and addictive. There are long-term effects of Phentermine if used on a consistent basis. Temporary side effects including: blurred vision, dizziness, dry mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset, hest pain, nervousness, pounding heart, difficulty urinating, mood changes and breathing difficulties usually disappear within a few days of using Phentermine. However, Phentermine can be very addictive and if abused, can make some of those side effects permanent.

What is Phentermine?

Oral Phentermine Hydrochloride (HCL) is sold for weight loss. It is in the Sympathomimetic family of appetite suppressants (used for the short-term management of exogenous obesity.) When used in conjunction with diet, exercise, and behavior therapy, Phentermine may help you to lose weight while you are learning new ways to eat and to exercise.

Three forms of Phentermine are available:

TABLETS

CAPSULES

RESIN CAPSULES

How does Phentermine work?

Phentermine works by stimulating the hypothalamus gland and affecting certain neurotransmitters to decrease appetite. The hypothalamus is the region of the brain that controls the autonomic nervous system, regulating sleep cycles, body temperature, appetite, etc.

Proper Use of Phentermine

Phentermine should be taken on an empty stomach, once daily, prior to breakfast. If in tablet form, the tablet may be broken or cut in half. Do NOT break, crush, or chew tablets.
