A member asked:

I am experiencing weight gain (time frame: gradual onset) . can online doctors prescribe phentermine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Generally not: Drugs like that should be prescribed by the one doctor who is seeing the patient in-person, but some of the later visits can be virtual visits as long as the patient is a regular patient of that doctor, and goes in for in-person appointments from time to time.
