Generic Phentermine vs. Brand Names
Figuring out the difference between generic vs. brand name drugs can be a confusing ordeal. When a pharmaceutical company develops a new drug, the drug is given two names.
The first name is it's generic name and represents the chemical structure or chemical form of the drug. The generic name of a drug never changes. In this case, the generic name of the drugs being discussed below is Phentermine.
The second name given to a drug is it's brand name. This is the name given to the medicine by the pharmaceutical company and has nothing to do with its chemical form. The brand names of the drugs referred to below are Adipex-P and Ionamin.
They are both fairly similar in that they are composed of Phentermine, and subsequently given different names by the companies that manufacturer them. No other pharmaceutical company can ever use the brand name of the drug at any time.
Phentermine Hydrochloride (Generic Name) and Adipex-P and Ionamin (Brand Names)
Phentermine Hydrochloride, the generic name for Adipex-P and Ionamin, comes in immediate release or time-release formulas. Immediate release pills enter your blood stream as soon as you take them, and time-release capsules release their medication into your body over an extended period of time, generally 8 or 12 hOurs.
There are many popular brand names of Phentermine. Nonetheless, all of the above named compounds are considered clinically equivalent in producing weight loss.
About Ionamin
Ionamin is Phentermine set in resin. The resin allows the compound to be released slowly into the blood stream. Some patients prefer it because they believe it to be associated with fewer side effects, others do not. It is the only Phentermine resin on the market. It comes in 30 mg and 15 mg capsules. The 15 mg capsule is gray and yellow, the 30 mg capsule is all yellow. Each capsule is labeled with the name "Ionamin".
The Best Type of Phentermine to Use
Phentermine in either the time-release or immediate release form is effective for 12-24 hOurs. However, some new patients may find they have less side effects from the time-release formula and more side effects with the immediate release formula. However, individual reactions to the drug can vary and this is certainly not the experience of all patients taking Phentermine.
Different forms of any type of drug has subtle chemical differences. We also have subtle differences in Our brain chemistry. This can attribute to the reason some drugs work well on some patients, but do not work as well on others. This can also be why some patients experience side effects while taking a certain medication and others do not. There is no way to know what a specific person's reaction to a medication will be without the patient trying it.
