If a teen at 16 is over weight at 250 and has trouble loosing weight, it is okay to take phen 375?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Overweight teen: Even teenagers are growing and it is not recommended to take diet pills. Many time adjusting the diet and increasing their physical activity can help. Speak with your doctor to help rule out any medical problems and then outline a program of diet and exercise. A dietitian may help. The whole family should be involved to get the best results.
