Phentermine weight loss in Tampa

Phentermine is an FDA-approved, generic prescription appetite suppressant that you take by mouth. It is a Schedule IV controlled substance, labelled for short-term use alongside diet, exercise, and behavior change.

At Padgett Medical Center, 6904 W. Linebaugh Ave, Tampa, FL 33625, or by telehealth anywhere in Florida. Phentermine has to be prescribed by a licensed provider after a visit. At Padgett, you see Morgan Colee, PA, who prescribes under the supervision of Dr. Jose Diaz, MD, our Medical Director. If phentermine is right for you, you can start it at your first visit: $127.40 for the first month when you book online with a card on file.

Adipex-P is a brand name for phentermine hydrochloride. The generic phentermine your provider prescribes contains the same active ingredient, and it is FDA-approved. Your provider chooses the form and dose that fit you at your visit.

It reduces your appetite, which makes it easier to eat less while you build better eating, activity, and daily habits. It is meant to support that plan, not replace it.

As a general guide from its label, phentermine may be an option if your BMI is 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Your provider confirms whether it is right for you at your visit.

According to its label, phentermine is not for people with a history of heart disease or stroke, uncontrolled high blood pressure, an overactive thyroid, glaucoma, agitation, or a history of drug misuse, for anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, or for anyone who has taken an MAOI in the last 14 days. Your provider reviews your full health history before prescribing.

Common side effects include dry mouth, trouble sleeping, a faster heart rate, higher blood pressure, restlessness, and constipation. Tell your provider about any side effect, and call 911 in a medical emergency.

Phentermine can raise blood pressure and heart rate, so your blood pressure is checked at each monthly visit. For a telehealth visit, you send a photo of a recent blood pressure reading before the visit.

Phentermine is labelled for short-term use. Your provider decides how long it makes sense for you, sees you every month while you take it, and talks through what comes next.

New patients pay $127.40 for the first month when they book online and keep a card on file, which is 35% off the regular $196. That one price includes your visit with a licensed provider, your first month of phentermine, and a B12 injection. After that, refills are $166 a month, which includes your monthly visit, your medication, and a B12 injection. There are no hidden fees and no contract or minimum commitment: you pay month to month, and nothing is charged when you book.

Book online at padgettmedical.com: choose an in-person or telehealth visit, pick a time, then choose 35% off with a card on file and save your card on the secure page. Nothing is charged when you book, and the 35% comes off your first month when you check out at your visit. You can also book without a card: you pay the regular $196, and the appointment stays unconfirmed until our team confirms it with you by phone. It is released after 48 hours if it is not confirmed.

Missed appointments leave a provider's time unused. A card on file means fewer missed appointments, and we pass that saving on to you as 35% off your first month. Your card is saved, not charged, when you book.

Yes. Your first month price covers your visit, your first month of phentermine, and a B12 injection, so there is no separate charge for the consultation or the medication. Each $166 refill after that includes your monthly visit, your medication, and a B12 injection too. Some advertised monthly prices cover a consultation or a program but not the medication itself, so when you compare clinics, ask what the full price includes.

No. The price you see is what you pay for your visit, your medication, and your B12 injection, and there is no contract or minimum commitment. The only other charge is a $50 no-show fee if you miss your appointment without cancelling or rescheduling at least 24 hours ahead, and it can be applied to your next visit.
