  • Weight Loss Management

How does phentermine work?

Phentermine works by decreasing a patient’s appetite. The medication does this by stimulating the central nervous system, which increases the heart rate and breakdown of fat, while decreasing one’s appetite.

Phentermine is available in the following dosage forms:

  • Tablet
  • Capsule

If you’re curious whether the generic version of phentermine is as effective as its brand versions, check with your health care provider since they are the best resource in discussing your specific prescription needs. Keep in mind,  generic medications are FDA-approved, which means they contain the same active ingredients as the brand version of the medication, with identical strength and dosage form.
