Question 1

is phentramin-d the same as control?

Accepted Answer

Phentramin-d: ...is an over-the-counter supplement. It is NOT prescription phentermine.  Word to the wise: medications can help with weight loss in some groups of patients, but  there is no &quot;magic&quot; pill for weight loss.

Question 2

what makes you a candidate for phentremine?

Accepted Answer

Needs clarification: I believe you inquire about phentermine-an appetite
suppressant med.If it is , then you need body mass index of 30 or 
more or 27 with risk factors in order to qualify.I also would do a
complete blood test , check pt heart with electrocardiogram before pt can start for safety of pts.

Question 3

is it safe to take phentrmine?

Accepted Answer

Under Supervision: Persons with bmi above 30 sometimes benefit from taking phenterimine for medically supervised weight loss.  It is not indicated for those below 30 bmi.  If they don't suffer from high blood pressure, or heart problems then it is considered safe.  Use results in tolerance, which means the longer you take it the less effective it is.  Should only take for 30 days, then off for 30 days.  See doctor.

Question 4

can i take phertermine and valacyclovie together?

Accepted Answer

Phentermine BAD drug: You should not be on phentermine. This is a dangerous drug that is not effective in providing long lasting weight loss. It is addicting and should not be used for any length of time.  I would be wary of any physician willing to prescribe it.

Question 5

i have 20-25 lbs to lose. how can i get a precription for phentremine?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: You should see your doctor for a prescription.  There are a number of newer medications available without the side effects of phentermine.

Question 6

does phenterminie show up on a standard urine test?

Accepted Answer

What is standard?: Routine urinalysis does not look for phentermine, so it will be not be detected. Drug tests for urine need to b specified for each drug.

Question 7

is it ok to take phenermine with omnicef (cefdinir) and tussicaps..which are amazing by the way(tussicaps)?

Accepted Answer

Not really: I would not taking your appetite suppressant together wit  tussicaps because of possible drug interaction with central nervous  system since tussicap have chlrorephenamine(antihistamine with sedation effect)  and hydrocodone.I would not take your Phentermine till you are better with your cough.

Question 8

why can i only lose 10 lbs while on phetermine? i've been taking it for months and can't lose more than that.

Accepted Answer

Weight loss: Weight loss is related to calories in and calories  used.  It is still possible to over eat despite medications (or even gastric bypass).  It is more important to eat in a healthy manner and be consistent with activity to achieve a healthy weight.   Body mass index may be a better way to evaluate your status than pounds on a scale.

Question 9

wil phetermine help you lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Wt loss: Yes but it has serious side effects like pulmonary  hypertension, which is irreversible .It cannot be taken forever. Once  stopped taking it you will gain the wt  right back unless you're watching the diet  properly. Weight-loss achieved from this drug is very minimal too.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Phentermine: Like stimulants, very likely so, depending onh dose & duration of use.
