Common Weight loss m: Phentermine or adipex-d is a very common weight loss medication and if taken correctly (overweight with a weight related medical condition) or obese and no heart disease or arrhythmia, then it can be an effective medication that along a proper diet can help weight loss. I've seen many patients on it with great success when taken correctly.
