General Information About Phentermine
Phentermine is a pill in tablet form that is used in the short-term management of obesity. Phentermine Hydrochloride, the generic name for Adipex-P and Ionamin, is available in immediate release or time-release formulas.
Immediate release pills enter your blood stream as soon as you take them. Time-release capsules release their medication into your body over an extended period of time, generally 8 or 12 hOurs. All of the above named forms of Phentermine are considered clinically equivalent in producing weight loss.
Available Dosages
The pills come in a variety of colors and are made in both capsule and tablet form. Phentermine pills can also come in three different strengths: 15, 30 and 37.5 milligrams.
How Phentermine Works
Phentermine and other medications of it's class are believed to suppress the patient's appetite by way of a central mechanism (appetite centers in the brain), although this has not yet been clearly proven.
While Phentermine does have some thermogenic effect (speeding up your metabolism), the thermogenic effect of Phentermine and most other currently available medications for obesity is minor when compared to the effect on the patient's appetite.
How to Take Phentermine
Since this medication can cause sleeplessness, it is recommended that you avoid taking doses late in the day. Instead, Phentermine should be taken on an empty stomach, preferably one hOur before breakfast each morning. As with all prescription medications, you should follow the instructions that appear on the label.
Phentermine should not be taken more often than or longer than directed by the prescribing doctor. It is usually recommended that this medication not be taken in addition to any other type of appetite suppressants.
Effectiveness of Phentermine
Phentermine has been shown to be an effective form of therapy for obese patients who need to lose weight to decrease diseases and other health concerns associated with significant obesity. The amount of weight loss will depend on the patients caloric intake and the patients use of a graded exercise program. It is important to add proper diet and exercise to your daily routine in order to maximize the effects of Phentermine.
How Long Phentermine Should Be Used
Prescription Phentermine is designed for short-term use. It's purpose is to help the patient start losing weight so that the patient can get on track with their weight loss goals so that the patient can continue on their own after stopping Phentermine use.
The human body starts to build up a resistance to the effects of prescription Phentermine after a few weeks or treatment. By that point, the patient should be on track to reaching a new lifestyle and their weight loss goals and be ready to stop taking Phentermine.
No appetite suppressant is a substitute for a proper diet. For maximum effects, Phentermine must be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and a good exercise program. This is important for maximizing the effects of Phentermine and for sustaining the weight loss progress you have made while on the medication.
