What is phentermine?
Phentermine is one of the most established prescription weight-loss medications, an appetite suppressant that helps you eat less without the constant battle against hunger. It's an excellent option for patients who want an effective, budget-friendly, non-injectable medication, or a strong jumpstart before or alongside other treatments. At Padgett Medical Center, every phentermine plan is prescribed and monitored by a licensed provider.
How does phentermine work?
Phentermine works on the hypothalamus, the part of your brain that controls appetite, by increasing neurotransmitters like norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin, which reduce hunger and cravings. Many patients also notice a boost in energy and metabolism. With less hunger and more energy, it's far easier to stay in the calorie deficit that drives weight loss. Paired with simple nutrition guidance from our team, it helps you build momentum quickly.
