Phentermine

Phentermine can be appropriate for eligible patients when prescribed and monitored by a licensed healthcare provider. Because it can affect heart rate, blood pressure, and sleep, your provider will review your medical history, medications, and relevant health factors before determining whether it is suitable for you.

Phentermine is not appropriate for everyone, including during pregnancy or for certain people with cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, or recent use of an MAO inhibitor.

Some patients notice improved appetite control shortly after beginning treatment, although individual responses vary. Changes in body weight occur gradually and depend on nutrition, activity, sleep, hydration, treatment consistency, and other personal health factors.

Your provider will monitor your progress and determine whether your treatment plan should be continued or adjusted.

Yes. Phentermine support the healthy behaviors that make weight loss more sustainable, it does not replace them.  We recommend prioritizing protein and nutrient-dense foods, drinking adequate water, managing portion sizes, and incorporating appropriate physical activity.

The goal is to use improved appetite control as an opportunity to develop habits that can support your health beyond medication treatment

 Phentermine may cause dry mouth, constipation, difficulty sleeping, restlessness, increased heart rate, or increased blood pressure. Topiramate may cause tingling sensations, changes in taste, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, mood changes, or constipation.

Contact your provider about symptoms that are persistent, concerning, or interfere with daily activities. Your treatment may be adjusted based on how you respond.

 Phentermine should not be combined with other prescription, over-the-counter, or herbal weight-loss products unless specifically directed by your prescribing provider. The safety of combining weight-loss treatments depends on the medications involved and your individual health profile.

Always provide your clinician with a complete list of medications and supplements before beginning treatment.
