A member asked:

Is it possible for you to take phentermine if you are on blood pressure medicine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but...: Yes you can, but i'd be careful with it. If you don't already, i'd buy a home BP cuff and keep a log (once daily is fine) of your BP while you're taking the phenteramine. It can affect your BP or the effectiveness of the medication you're taking, so keep a close eye on it and report any changes to your doctor.
