Phentermine<\/span><\/a> may be known by its brand name, <\/span>Adipex-P<\/span><\/a>, but nationally, it is recognized as the most popular prescription weight-loss medicine. The reasons for this are simple. It is cheap and works, producing about 17 pounds of average weight loss in obese patients compared to four pounds with a placebo in a <\/span>12-week study<\/span><\/a>. This success in <\/span>obesity<\/span><\/a> treatment comes from phentermine being both a <\/span>central nervous system (CNS) stimulant<\/span><\/a> and an appetite suppressant. Eating less goes a long way toward addressing obesity, which can mean reducing the health risks associated with obesity, such as diabetes, sleep apnea, and hypertension.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before getting too excited, enthusiasm for phentermine is lacking among physicians. The risk of high blood pressure, chest pain, anxiety, and elevated heart rate with the drug is coupled with contraindications in uncontrolled hypertension, heart disease, glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, MAO inhibitor use, and drug abuse history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like its cousins\u2019 amphetamine and <\/span>phendimetrazine<\/span><\/a>, phentermine is a member of the stimulant class of drugs and is controlled by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) due to its potential for misuse. The situation of a prescription medication desired by consumers and avoided by doctors leads many patients to turn to the internet to buy phentermine online.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to buy phentermine online<\/span><\/h2>\n

The first step is to get a valid prescription. Phentermine cannot legally be obtained without a prescription. It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for short-term use in conjunction with a diet and exercise program for weight loss. Generally, this means up to 12 weeks of use. It should not be prescribed or used during pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n

An office appointment with a healthcare provider will be needed to review medical history, including diabetes, overall general condition, and weight loss attempts. Current prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and supplements will be looked at. The medical provider will also conduct a physical exam to measure body mass index (BMI) and to determine a need for weight loss. Blood pressure will also be checked, along with an examination of the cardiovascular system. Therefore, more than a telemedicine visit is typically required before prescribing phentermine, so be suspicious of online doctors willing to prescribe it. After a thorough examination, a phentermine prescription will be written if the benefits of the medication are thought to exceed the risks.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a prescription now in hand, attention can be turned to getting the weight loss medication. It is available as 15 mg, 30 mg, and 37.5 mg capsules or a 37.5 mg tablet, taken once daily. A typical brick-and-mortar pharmacy can certainly serve patients\u2019 needs by providing phentermine and allowing access to a pharmacist for any questions concerning the use and safety of this appetite suppressant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, opting for an online pharmacy comes with risks. Ensure to avoid entities outside of the United States; it is illegal to import drugs in this manner. Even domestic online pharmacies may be unlicensed and prioritize scamming over legitimate sales.<\/span><\/p>\n
