Phentermine (Adipex)
Phentermine is an efficient appetite suppressant that works by way of balancing certain chemicals in the brain that are responsible for transmitting the signals of hunger. The medicine works best when it is combined with reasonable physical activities and healthy diet.
Being one of the most reputable sympathomimetic agents, it suppresses appetite by stimulating the release of norepinephrine and dopamine nerve endings in the satiation center of hypothalamus. In addition, the drug inhibits gastric secretion and increases energy expenditure. The usual dose of phentermine is 8mg administered 3 times a day to be taken 30 minutes before a meal, or 15-37.5mg dose. The most commonly occuring side effects of phentermine include nervousness, dry mouth, constipation and hypertension. In connection with this phentermine is not recommended for patients with hypertension and related cardiovascular disorders, arrhythmias, anxiety, etc.
Phentermine is included in the list of potent substances subjected to vigilant medical supervision but, being a pharmacological product, it is not prohibited, but is under control in the sense that it should be prescribed by a physician and dispensed in a pharmacy. However, to buy Phentermine online one is recommended to have a prescription, but it is not always necessary. Some drugstores sell Phentermine without prescription and have it delivered in a plain package.
There are many medications that can reduce body weight, but for now only three of them are officially recommended for the treatment of obesity, and Phentermine is a top selling one among pharmacological weight loss solutions.
Phentermine helped 60% of patients in reducing weight for more than 5%, the fact that was confirmed by randomized, placebo-controlled studies. Being one of the most efficient drugs for treating obesity (which, however, need to take a very long time and only in case non-pharmacological measures do not help), Phentermine still should be taken during the whole therapy course as coordinated by the prescriber. It contributes to a well-defined weight-loss rate which is usually aligned to the sixth month of treatment.
