What is phentermine?

Phentermine is a prescription medication used to support weight loss by reducing your appetite. When you’re less hungry, it’s easier to eat fewer calories to achieve your weight loss goals. Phentermine also helps you feel full for longer time periods. It’s designed to be used as part of a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen to achieve long-lasting success. 

What are the benefits of phentermine?

The benefits you can expect when losing weight with phentermine include:

• Reduced appetite
• Easier weight loss
• Lower blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol
• Mood improvements
• Highly effective, lasting results
• Reduced chronic disease risk factors
• Improved disease management
• Greater self-confidence
• Better quality of life

Phentermine is a commonly prescribed weight loss medication. However, potential side effects include a fast heart rate, nervousness, sleeplessness, or constipation. Contact your provider if you experience side effects. 

Am I a candidate for phentermine?

Phentermine may be a good option if you struggle with being overweight or obese but haven’t reached your goal weight via diet and exercise alone. But people with heart disease, overactive thyroid, glaucoma, high blood pressure, or other medical concerns may not be candidates. 

In addition to phentermine, Crystal Clear Weight Loss Solutions offers semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, nutrition counseling, personal training, dietary supplements, and customized meal plans.

Your weight loss specialist discusses your symptoms and medical history, determines your body mass index (BMI) based on your current weight, checks your vital signs, and completes a physical exam to determine which weight loss solutions best suit you. You might also need lab testing.

What should I expect when taking phentermine?

Follow your provider’s instructions when taking phentermine. It’s available as extended-release capsules or tablets and is often taken as a single daily dose or three times per day. You might take this medication for 3-6 weeks, though treatment times vary from person to person. 

Follow up with your weight loss specialist (in person or via telehealth), who monitors your progress over time and makes adjustments to your weight loss program if necessary as you begin moving toward your goal weight. They’re always available to address questions or concerns throughout your weight loss journey.
