Adipex 37.5 mg

Description

Adipex 37.5 mg is a prescription medication that contains phentermine, a stimulant similar to an amphetamine, used to aid in weight loss for obese patients. It works by suppressing appetite, increasing energy levels, and promoting a feeling of fullness, helping patients reduce caloric intake. Adipex is typically prescribed as a short-term adjunct to a comprehensive weight-loss plan that includes a low-calorie diet, regular physical activity, and behavior changes.

Adipex 37.5 mg tablets or capsules are usually taken once daily in the morning to avoid potential insomnia. Patients should follow their healthcare provider’s instructions carefully, as the medication can be habit-forming if not used as directed. Common side effects may include increased heart rate, dry mouth, and restlessness. It is not suitable for individuals with a history of cardiovascular disease, hyperthyroidism, or glaucoma.

Who Can Prescribe Phentermine?
To get a prescription for phentermine, you have to first go through an assessment to check your eligibility criteria. Depending on the state, the list of healthcare providers who can conduct such assessments and prescribe phentermine may vary. Generally, they include the following:

Primary care physicians
Endocrinologists
Bariatricians
Psychiatrists
Nurse practitioners
Physician assistants
Eligibility Requirements for Phentermine
Phentermine is prescribed to patients with a particular BMI (body mass index[5*]
). BMI is calculated based on the person’s weight (kg) divided by the squared height (m).

A BMI of 30 and higher is considered obesity and qualifies a person for a phentermine prescription (unless there are contraindications).
A BMI of 27 falls under the “overweight” category. However, a person with a BMI of 27 or higher may also be prescribed phentermine if they have weight-related health conditions. These include, for example, diabetes and hypertension.
BMI is not the only factor: a healthcare provider also assesses general health history. This helps to identify any risk factors.

What to Ask a Doctor About Phentermine?
Can phentermine help me achieve my weight loss goal? How long can it take? What can influence the effectiveness of my weight loss process?
Should I go through additional tests and assessments to determine the cause of weight gain?
Can any medications I am taking or any underlying health conditions affect my weight or the course of weight loss?
What lifestyle changes can help me support the effects of phentermine?
What are the most common and rare side effects of this medication? Which of them go away on their own and which require medical attention?
What should I know about contraindications and precautions?
What other weight loss medications can I consider if this one isn’t working for me?
If you had previous attempts to lose weight, share this experience with your healthcare provider. Together, you will analyze what worked well for you and what didn’t bring the desired effects, what can be done differently this time, and other helpful details.

If you have an allergic reaction to the medication, seek medical help immediately. The symptoms include swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, hives, and itching.

Severe hypertension or pounding heart
Severe shortness of breath
Tremors and prolonged insomnia
Swelling in legs and feet
Chest pain and lightheadedness
Contraindications and Precautions
Phentermine is not prescribed if there is a known allergy to it or hypersensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, to which this medication belongs. Other contraindications[6*]
include but are not limited to:

History of cardiovascular issues
History of drug abuse
Glaucoma
Hyperthyroidism
Pregnancy
Nursing
Phentermine can impair the ability to drive or operate machinery. Also, prolonged use increases the risks of tolerance and dependence, so it’s important to monitor their signs.

Phentermine should be used with caution in people with a history of mental health conditions, and its dosage should be adjusted for people who have problems with kidneys.

When it comes to interactions, phentermine should not be used together with other weight loss medications. There must also be a gap of at least 14 days between stopping MAOIs (a type of antidepressant medications) and starting phentermine. It can also interact with some antipsychotics, antidiabetic medicines, and even over-the-counter and herbal supplements, so it’s essential to discuss any medications you are taking beforehand.
