Phentermine

Phentermine is a prescription medication used to help with short-term weight loss. It works as an appetite suppressant by stimulating your central nervous system, which can reduce feelings of hunger and increase energy levels. Typically prescribed alongside a reduced-calorie diet and exercise, phentermine is intended for people who are overweight or obese and have health risks related to excess weight. It is usually used for a few weeks because long-term safety has not been established. Like all medications, it can cause side effects and should only be taken under medical supervision.
