Phentermine is not recommended for use in children under 12 years of age.

How does Phentrimine work?

Phentrimine can be related to the group of appetite suppressants. It stimulates the hypothalamus gland and affects certain brain circuits to reduce appetite. The hypothalamus is considered to be responsible for the autonomic nervous system control, regulation of body temperature, sleep cycles, appetite and other functions.

Consequently, treatment with Phentrimine helps us to stay away from excess eating behavior. As we stop eating too much, we stop accumulating more of fat in our bodies. Along with physical exercises, Phentrimine serves as additional support in fighting obesity.

Phentrimine Side Effects

Generally, Phentrimine appears to be relatively well tolerated.

• dry mouth
• unpleasant taste
• diarrhea
• constipation
• vomiting

If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
