Achieve Your Weight Loss
Phentermine for weight loss is a science-backed treatment. It’s also the oldest FDA-approved anti-obesity medication.
What is Phentermine?
Phentermine is an FDA-approved prescription weight loss medication used for short-term appetite suppression in patients with a BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with weight-related health risks. It’s classified as a controlled substance due to its stimulant properties and is generally prescribed for 2–4 months to help patients break through weight loss resistance and begin making healthier choices.
Phentermine is part of a group of medications known as anorectics. It stimulates the release of neurotransmitters (norepinephrine, dopamine) in the brain, reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness and motivation.
Available Dosages:
15mg tablet or capsule (often split into morning/evening doses)
30mg capsule
37.5mg tablet or capsule (most common)
Phentermine is typically taken once in the morning, but some patients may benefit from splitting lower doses twice daily to manage hunger throughout the day.
As a controlled medication, Phentermine should only be prescribed and monitored by a licensed physician. We perform full intake labs, screenings, and check-ins to ensure safety and results.
