What Is Phentermine?

Phentermine is an FDA-approved prescription medication used to suppress appetite and enhance energy. It’s one of the most widely prescribed short-term treatments for obesity and is often used to jumpstart weight loss in medically supervised programs.

Phentermine works by stimulating the central nervous system to increase norepinephrine and dopamine activity—leading to reduced hunger, increased alertness, and improved focus. It is generally prescribed in low-to-moderate doses for a short duration (typically 8–12 weeks).

Your provider may prescribe phentermine alone or combine it with other medications such as naltrexone, metformin, or GLP-1s for enhanced, longer-term results.

Important Safety and Regulatory Information

Phentermine is an FDA-approved prescription medication indicated for the short-term treatment of obesity. It is typically prescribed for patients with a BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with weight-related health risks, such as hypertension, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes.

Phentermine is a Schedule IV controlled substance and may carry a risk of psychological dependence or misuse if not properly managed. It is not recommended for patients with a history of heart disease, uncontrolled hypertension, hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, or substance use disorder.

Phentermine should not be used in the following cases:

  • History of cardiovascular disease
  • Moderate to severe hypertension
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Recent use of MAO inhibitors
  • Anxiety disorders or uncontrolled mental health conditions


Common side effects include dry mouth, insomnia, jitteriness, constipation, or elevated heart rate. These are usually dose-dependent and reversible with medication adjustment or discontinuation.

Phentermine is not meant for long-term use as a standalone therapy but can be highly effective when integrated into a structured weight loss program that includes nutrition, movement, and medical supervision.
