Overview

Phentermine 37.5mg is a prescription weight-loss medication used to assist in short-term management of obesity. It belongs to the class of drugs called stimulant anorectics, which suppress appetite by affecting the central nervous system. Phentermine is usually prescribed alongside a reduced-calorie diet, exercise program, and behavioral modifications for optimal results.

Uses

Phentermine 37.5mg is prescribed for:
