Phentermine

Phentermine is a prescription appetite suppressant approved for short-term weight loss in adults with obesity or those who are overweight. It acts as a central nervous system stimulant (similar to amphetamines) to decrease appetite and boost energy. It is designed to be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise.

Key Facts

Drug Class: Anorectic (stimulant). It is a Schedule IV controlled substance due to a potential for abuse or dependency.
Typical Treatment Duration: Usually prescribed for 12 weeks or less, though doctors sometimes order it for longer-term chronic weight management. [1, 2, 3, 4]

How It Works

Phentermine stimulates the release of neurotransmitters in your brain that signal the body to feel full. This helps curb hunger and prevents overeating, making it easier to stick to dietary changes. [1, 2, 3, 4]
