Phentermine
for Obesity
Phentermine
is an appetite lowering drug. It is a sympathomimetic amine, which is
similar to an amphetamine. Phentermine enhances the production of dopamine.
Dopamine stimulates the central nervous system and increases the heart
rate and blood pressure, thereby decreasing the appetite. Phentermine
is available as a generic product Known as "Phentermine" (produced
by EON LABS MANUFACTURING, INC.) and brand-name products: Ionamin and
Adipex are brand-name phentermines. Phentermine
comes in a hydrochloride (HCl) salt and a resin complex (see Ionamin).
Phentermine should
only be considered by those who are seriously obese and should only be
used under the supervision of trained physician. For some people, weight
loss medications might be one of few options. However, it should be remembered
that all medications have potential harmful side effects. In addition
phentermine and similar medications can be addictive. Weight loss pills
are not an instant solution for weight loss. Follow the instructions of
a trained physician. Weigh up the benefits with the potential risks and
consider other weight loss options.
