A member asked:

Pcos and phentermine? any issues? taking medroxyprogesterone first 10 days of every month. i weigh 290lbs and am 5'10". 21 years old.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Phentermine: will help somewhat, coupled with a logical exercise ( daily 30 min) program and a low salt, low carb, low fat 1500-1800 calorie diet. It will not melt fat and it must be taken under a physician's supervision.
