Phentermine

Phentermine is a prescription appetite suppressant that helps reduce hunger signals in your brain. It is used short-term, alongside diet and exercise, to help jumpstart weight loss in people who are medically overweight or obese.

Phentermine is a sympathomimetic amine anorectic that acts as a releasing agent of norepinephrine in the hypothalamus, suppressing appetite. It is FDA-approved for short-term use (≤12 weeks) as an adjunct to lifestyle modification in patients with BMI ≥30 kg/m² or ≥27 kg/m² with obesity-related comorbidities.

Weight-loss medications can be a powerful tool when prescribed appropriately. At Accord Medical, Dr Wang evaluates your full health profile to determine if phentermine is safe and suitable for your individual needs.
