Overview Of Phentermine

Phentermine is a medication prescribed on a short-term basis for only a few weeks. It is intended for use by obese patients, those with a body mass index of thirty or higher, who have not been able to lose weight with diet and exercise alone. First developed in the late 1950s, this medicine is the most commonly prescribed weight loss drug in the United States. Doctors will conduct a physical exam to determine if the patient has weight-related health issues that taking this medication can improve. They will check the patient's blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose measurements.
