PHENTERMINE
One of the appetite suppressants that is often used at RCMC Weight Loss Specialists is Phentermine. These medications are sometimes used as part of a supervised medical weight-management plan to help reduce appetite and support lifestyle changes when clinically appropriate.
WHAT IS PHENTERMINE?
Phentermine is an Anorectic that is the most commonly prescribed appetite suppressant. Phentermine works similarly to the stimulant amphetamine and suppresses the appetite by interacting with the nervous system. Phentermine is usually part of a larger medical weight loss plan that also includes a change in diet and increase in exercise.
Phendimetrazine
Phendimetrazine is used to help people lose weight because it affects the part of the inner brain which controls our impulse to overeat. We prescribe this weight loss medication to people who have an issue with binge-eating, overeating, or any other unhealthy eating habits. The medication is fast-acting, may help reduce the desire to snack between meals by supporting appetite control when used under medical supervision because it kicks in quickly to distract the brain away from wanting to eat when not even hungry.
