What is Phentermine?

Phentermine is an FDA-approved stimulant medication that helps reduce appetite and increase energy expenditure. It works by activating the brain’s release of neurotransmitters that suppress hunger, helping you feel fuller for longer and more in control of your eating habits.

At Premier MedSpa, Dr. Chakeer may prescribe Phentermine as part of a structured weight loss program that includes nutritional counseling, activity guidance, and medical supervision. It’s intended for short-term use to help you build momentum and stay motivated.

Who is Phentermine for?

Phentermine may be appropriate for adults who:

• Have a BMI of 30 or higher, or
• Have a BMI of 27 or higher with conditions like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol

Before prescribing Phentermine, Dr. Chakeer conducts a comprehensive medical evaluation to ensure the medication is safe and suitable for your individual health profile. She’ll review your lab results, health history, and weight loss goals to create a plan that prioritizes your well-being.

How does Phentermine support weight loss?

Phentermine helps curb your appetite and reduce food cravings, making it easier to follow your nutritional goals without feeling deprived. It also has a mild stimulant effect, which can increase your energy levels and help you stay active.

When paired with healthy eating, movement, and regular follow-ups with the Premier MedSpa team, Phentermine can help you break through plateaus or kick off your weight loss journey.

What should I expect from treatment?

Phentermine is typically taken once daily in the morning. Dr. Chakeer will start you on the appropriate dosage and monitor for any side effects, which may include increased heart rate, dry mouth, or mild restlessness. Most side effects are manageable and tend to decrease over time.

Ongoing check-ins ensure your treatment remains effective and aligned with your goals.
