What makes a good candidate for adipex or phentermine in order for a doctor to prescribe it?

Weight loss med: By nih criteria, you need to have bmi of 30 or more or 27 or more with 1 risk factor (high blood pressure, sugar issues, cholesterol problems...) to be able to get the weight loss med. Keep in mind, this drug should be used in conjunction with a sound diet/exercise routine and not by itself. The weight will come back if you don't do this in conjunction with diet and exercise.
