What is Phentermine?
Oral phentermine Hydrochlorid (HCL) is sold for weight loss. It is in the lower case Sympathomimetic family of appetite suppressants (Used for the management of exogenous obesity.)
When used in conjunction with diet, exercise and behavior therapy, phentermine may help you to lose weight while you are learning new ways to eat and exercise.
How does Phentermine work?
Phentermine works by stimulating the hypothalamus gland and affecting certain neurotransmitters to decrease appetite.
The hypothalamus is the region of the brain that controls the autonomic nervous system, regulating sleep cycles, body temperature, appetite, etc.
Phentermine should NOT be used as a substitute for proper diet and/or exercise. For maximum effects, it must be used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and/or exercise.
Any modifications in your diet, activity level and behavior must be developed and continued long-term in order to continue losing weight and prevent the lost weight from returning.
