| Phentermine |
| Posted by: Administrator |
| |
The newest cocktail involving Phentermine is "Phen-Pro" - the "Pro" standing for Prozac. Any one of the following antidepressants: Zoloft, Celexa, Luvox, Trazadone or Effexor may be used in lieu of Prozac.
The use of the antidepressant in the Phen-Pro cocktail is unrelated to depression. The cocktail is necessary because the effects of Phentermine, when used alone, lessen over time. The Phen-Pro cocktail enables Phentermine to work better and for a longer period of time. The cocktail does not appear to cause the problems that resulted from the usage of Fen-Phen.
The combination of Phentermine and Prozac is considered an "off-label" use, meaning that the FDA, who often voice concerns regarding the mixing/combining of medications, does not approve it. However, once the agency has approved a drug, doctors may prescribe it at will.

| Fen-Phen and Dexfen-Phen - two passing trends |
| Posted by: Administrator |
| |
Fen-Phen refers to the combination, or cocktail, of Fenfluramine or Pondimin (the "Fen") and Phentermine (the "Phen"). Fenfluramine received FDA approval in 1973 for the short-term treatment of obesity. Together, Phentermine and Fenfluramine produced a powerful diet drug cocktail.
The FDA never approved the Fen-Phen combination, but once the agency has approved a drug, doctors may prescribe it at will. Their use, together, was considered "off-label".
In 1992, Dr. Michael Weintraub of the University of Rochester and several colleagues published a study citing Fen-Phen as a more effective method than dieting or exercise in reducing the weight of the chronically obese. Even better - Fen-Phen, unlike an earlier generation of speed-laden diet drugs, seemed to be without immediate side effects.
The Fen-Phen cocktail became an overnight sensation. 1996 saw 6.6 million prescriptions of Fen-Phen in the U.S.
Dexfen-Phen refers to the combination, or cocktail, of Dexfenfluramine or Redux (the "Dexfen") and Phentermine (the "Phen"). Dexfenfluramine received FDA approved in 1996 for use as an appetite suppressant in the management of obesity.
Like Fen-Phen, Dexfen-Phen, too, became an overnight sensation.
Neither combination, however, was ever tested for safety ....
By the summer of 1997, the Mayo Clinic reported 24 cases of heart valve disease. All 24 people had taken the Fen-Phen cocktail. The cluster of unusual cases of heart valve disease in Fen-Phen users suggested a co-relation between Fen-Phen use and heart valve disease.
On July 8, 1997 the FDA issued a Public Health Advisory to report the Mayo findings (which were later published in the August 28 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine). Please click here to read the FDA Health Advisory.
The FDA continued to received additional reports of heart disease, including reports from patients who had taken only Fenfluramine or Dexfenfluramine.
Further evaluations of patients taking Fenfluramine or Dexfenfluramine, showed that approximately 30% had abnormal valve findings. This figure is much higher than expected for abnormal test results and suggest Fenfluramine and Dexfenfluramine as the likely causes of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH) and valvular heart disease.
The FDA responded promptly to the alarming findings, and in September 1997, requested drug manufacturers to voluntarily withdraw Fenfluramine and Dexfenfluramine. At the same time, the FDA recommended that patients using either Fenfluramine or Dexfenfluramine stop taking them. To view the FDA September 1997 statement regarding the withdrawals, please click here.
The FDA did not, however, request the withdrawal of the third drug involved in the cocktails, Phentermine.

| History |
| Posted by: Administrator |
| |
Phentermine is the most commonly prescribed prescription appetite suppressant, accounting for 50% of the prescriptions. Part of this reason is because it's significantly cheaper than the other major FDA-approved diet drugs, Meridia and Xenical.
Phentermine first received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1959 as an appetite suppressant for the short-term treatment of obesity.
Phentermine resin became available in the United States in 1959 and Phentermine Hydrochloride in the early 1970s.
In the US, Phentermine is currently sold under the brand names Ionamin® (Medeva Pharmaceuticals) and Adipex-P® (Gate Pharmaceuticals). It is also available as a generic medication, known as 'phentermine'.
Previously, it was sold under the name Fastin® (formerly produced by King Pharmaceuticals for SmithKline Beecham). In December 1998, SK-Beecham withdrew Fastin from the market.
As Phentermine is an older drug, no new efficacy trials have been conducted. The one notable exception, are several trials on the combination of Phentermine and Fenfluramine in the early and mid 1990s.

How to Use Phentermine: When and How to Take Phentermine:
Phentermine diet pills are taken orally, and come in capsular or tablet form. If you are taking the tablet form, the tablet may be broken or cut in half. Do NOT break, crush, or chew tablets. It is best to take Phentermine pills on an empty stomach, approximately one-half hour before breakfast.
If you are hungry first thing in the morning, take Phentermine with a full glass of water. It is important that you take the exact dosage for the recommended time period.
Avoid taking this medication later in the day since it may cause sleeplessness. If your prescription requires you to take more than one dose a day, take the last dose approximately 4-6 hours prior to going to bed.
We suggest starting the Phentermine weight loss plan with a goal to shed three to five pounds per week, combined with exercise and healthy eating habits in your daily routine. This is not a long term medication.
The long-term effects of Phentermine Hydrochloride, if used on a consistent basis, could cause addiction to the drug. If you want to the best results, use Phentermine HCL for up to four weeks and leave at least three weeks before you use Phentermine in your weight loss program again.
Phentermine hydrochloride only works while you are taking the medication. Once you stop taking the medication, you appetite is no longer suppressed. Just as the brand names do, generic Phentermine will help you control your hunger without hurting your wallet. By controlling how much you eat, your calorie intake will decrease, allowing you to lose weight faster. Combined with exercise, you will lose weight faster. You can lose weight without exercising, but exercise speeds up your metabolism and helps you to burn those calories faster.
It is very important to eat while dieting. In order to function properly, your body needs vitamins and minerals. Eating smaller portions of healthy foods will help you during any type of weight loss program.
Re-Evaluation After Phentermine Diet
After taking the Phentermine pills for four weeks, a weight reduction of at least 4.4 lbs should have been achieved. This predicts whether the drug is going to work for continued weight loss. If you have not achieved the minimal weight loss, a different class of drug may be needed.
Missed Dose:
If you miss a dose, wait until your next schedule scheduled dose. Do not double your doses.
Average Doses of Phentermine:
The following average doses of Phentermine prescriptions may be differ from patient to patient. Do NOT change your dose if it differs from what is listed below, unless your doctor tells you to do so.
Adults under Age 60:
15 to 37.5 mg Phentermine capsules once/day before breakfast, or 1-2 hours after breakfast.
15 to 37.5 mg Phentermine tablets once/day before breakfast or 1-2 hours after breakfast. Your doctor may decide it would be more effective for you to take 15 to 37.5 mg in divided doses one-half hour before meals.
15 to 30 mg Phentermine oral resin capsules once/day before breakfast.
Adults Age 60 and Over
May require a reduced dosage. Consult your physician.
It is not recommended that children under the age of 18 take Phentermine HCl.
Storage:
Store your Phentermine pills at room temperature away from sunlight and moisture. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children.

How Phentermine Diet Pills Help Us Lose Weight
Diet pills, such as phentermine HCL, help people lose weight by suppressing their appetites and making them feel less hungry. These Phentermine diet pills stimulate your central nervous system to alter chemical levels in your central nervous system that affect appetite and moods. These weight loss drugs may also speed up your metabolism, allowing you to burn calories faster.
Appetite suppressants changing the levels of serotonin in your brain; these chemicals tell and your body if you are hungry. By lowering your serotonin levels, you can control your hunger, allowing you to eat less and ultimately lose weight..
How Does Phentermine HCl Work?
Once absorbed into your system, Phentermine diet pills stimulate the hypothalamus gland, causing chemicals to be released within your body that produce a feeling of satiety (fullness). The hypothalamus is the region of the brain that regulates sleep cycles, body temperature, appetite, etc?
Researchers believe that the resultant feeling of fullness, along with other undetermined effects on the metabolism, are responsible for the loss of appetite. Using Phentermine Hydrochloride can be optimal for people who are overweight due to poor eating habits or behaviour associated eating.
Studies on the effectiveness of Phentermine weight loss pills demonstrates that people lost an average of 4.4 to 17.6 lbs more than placebo for the same duration of Phentermine Weight Loss supplement treatment.
Typically, your doctor may recommend using a diet aid such as generic Phentermine when after four weeks of diet and exercise, you fail to lose at least 1 pound per week. Before you purchase phentermine, you should consult your doctor to determine that you do not have underlying hormonal or metabolic diseases.

Phentermine Information
Phentermine is considered the most effective weight loss drug with very little side effects. A Phentermine prescription can be obtained from your family physician, or you fill our online medical referral form. This medication is taken orally in the morning, which is the best time to start managing your appetite during the day. Phentermine weight loss medication is FDA approved, and it has been the most popular diet aid over last fifty years.
Using Phentermine will allow you to control your eating habits and decrease the amount of calories you are taking in. This leads to weight loss.
As always, when considering the use of Phentermine or any weight loss program, you should consult a physician to see if this is the right step for you. When Phentermine pills are used in combination with diet, exercise, and eating habits, you may lose weight while learning new ways to eat and exercise.
Cautions While Using a Phentermine Weight Loss Program
Using Phentermine daily can be addictive and habit-forming. There are temporary side effects including blurred vision, dizziness, dry mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset, chest pain, nervousness, pounding heart, difficulty urinating, mood changes, and breathing difficulties.
These Phentermine side effects usually disappear within a few days of using Phentermine. However, some of these side effects may become permanent if Phentermine usage is abused.
What is Phentermine?
Like many diet aids, Phentermine HCl is an amphetamine. Amphetamines affect the CNS by releasing norepinephrine and dopamine from the nerve terminals and therefore decrease appetite by affecting the hypothalamus (in the brain).
Since there is little evidence, that Phentermine diet pills increase metabolism, it is important to complement your phentermine diet with exercise. Adding exercise to your daily routine will not only boost your metabolism, but it will also help you feel better and lose weight.
You can start your exercise regimen by doing little things like parking further from store entrances when you go shopping, walking instead of taking the elevator, taking a walk around the block once a day, or stretching.

Phentermine, a contraction for "phenyl-tertiary-butylamine", is an appetite suppressant of the amphetamine and phenethylamine class.
It is approved as an appetite suppressant to help reduce weight in obese patients when used short-term and combined with exercise, diet, and behavioral modification. It is typically prescribed for individuals who are at increased medical risk because of their weight and works by helping to release certain chemicals in the brain that control appetite.

History:
In 1959 phentermine first received approval from the FDA as an appetite suppressing drug. Phentermine hydrochloride then became available in the early 1970s. It was previously sold as Fastin from King Pharmaceuticals for SmithKline Beecham, however in 1998 it was removed from the market. Medeva Pharmaceuticals sells the name brand of phentermine called Ionamin and Gate Pharmaceuticals sells it as Adipex-P. Phentermine is also currently sold as a generic. Since the drug was approved in 1959 there have been almost no clinical studies performed. The most recent study was in 1990 which combined phentermine with fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine and became known as Fen-Phen.[citation needed]
In 1997 after 24 cases of heart valve disease in Fen-Phen users, fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were voluntarily taken off the market at the request of the FDA. Studies later proved that nearly 30% of people taking fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine had abnormal valve findings. The FDA did not ask manufacturers to remove phentermine from the market.
Phentermine is still available by itself in most countries, including the U.S. However, because it is similar to amphetamines, it is classified as a controlled substance in many countries. Internationally, phentermine is a schedule IV drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances.In the United States, it is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
Side effects:
Generally, phentermine appears to be relatively well tolerated.It can produce side effects consistent with its catecholamine-releasing properties, e.g., tachycardia (increased heart rate) and elevated blood pressure, but the incidence and magnitude of these appear to be less than with the amphetamines. Because phentermine acts through sympathomimetic pathways, the drug may increase blood pressure and heart rate. It may also cause palpitations, restlessness, and insomnia. Additionally, phentermine has the potential to cause physical and psychological dependence.
More common:
Insomnia
Hypertension
Irritability
Nervousness
Euphoria
Dry mouth
Unpleasant taste
Blurred vision
Heartburn/Acid reflux
Changes in libido
Clumsiness
Confusion
Diarrhea

Psychosis
