How Does Phentermine Work?
Phentermine is an oral medication that works as a stimulant to suppress appetite in which people eat less, thereby consuming less calories which results in weight loss. The medication is dispensed at a dose of 37.5 mg and should be taken in the morning. When first starting phentermine, it is best to take half the regular dose so that your body can be gradually accustomed to the effects. Phentermine should only be for short-term use only and taken as prescribed.
