Phentermine

Phentermine is a weight loss pill that is only available with a doctor's prescription. It works in a similar fashion as an amphetamine, and decreases the desire to eat in those who take it. This drug is meant to be used by individuals with a significant amount of weight to lose, not those with a few extra vanity pounds. Phentermine is not a long term solution for obesity, and users are encouraged to adopt healthier lifestyle choices, such as eating leaner, more nutritious foods and beginning an exercise regimen.http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/phentermine/AN01715

Phentermine is usually taken in as a tablet or a capsule, and is to be administered once per day (either before or after breakfast). Low doses may be taken at more frequent intervals. It should only be taken for a few weeks at a time.http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-4151-Phentermine.aspx?drugid=4151&drugname=Phentermine

Phentermine can be habit forming, and thus people with addictive tendencies are generally advised not to take it. You may experience withdrawal symptoms if you have been taking phentermine for a relatively long period of time and then discontinue use.http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-4151-Phentermine.aspx?drugid=4151&drugname=Phentermine

Common side effects of phentermine include bowel irregularity, headache, insomnia, drowsiness, nervous feelings, an unsavory taste in the mouth or oral dryness. Less commonly, users experience blurred vision, depression, nausea, heartbeat irregularities and aches in the stomach. If you experience swelling of the limbs or face, breathing trouble, rapid heartbeat, unconsciousness or behavioral changes, seek immediate medical attention.http://www.phentermine.com/faqs/what-phentermine-side-effects-may-i-experience.html
