Phentermine is used medically as an appetite suppressant.
It is approved as an appetite suppressant to help reduce weight in obese patients when used short-term and combined with exercise, diet, and behavioral modification. It is typically prescribed for individuals who are at increased medical risk because of their weight and works by helping to release certain chemicals in the brain that control appetite. Other appetite suppressants are available by prescription.
Phentermine may be prescribed as part of a medically guided weight management plan to help support appetite control for eligible patients. It’s intended to be used alongside a structured approach that includes nutrition, movement, and behavior-focused support.
Eligibility is determined by medical history, risk factors, and clinical appropriateness.
Often prescribed for short-term support, based on provider direction and monitoring.
Most effective when paired with diet, movement, and sustainable habits.
