Why is Phentermine so effective in helping someone lose weight?
As a doctor, I often see young people having put too much weight. This is a serious problem as these young people are effectively ruining their lives by not eating properly, living a sedentary life-style and spending too much time in front of a TV and not nearly enough time outside. Only in England, every 4th person under the age of 16 can be considered overweight.
Searching through the Internet I stumbled across many articles on weight loss products. Many of these can be easily disregarded as scams, trying to lure the unwary. Companies that are selling such products are usually short-lived, but their owners are mostly allowed to pursue other venues of scheming rather than going to bars where they belong.
Still, not everyone in the weight loss product business is trying to take your money and disappear in the mist. One such product is Phentermine. This a weight loss pill that is advertised as an appetite suppressant. It belongs to a family of drugs named phenythylamine which work as a neurotransmitters to the brain. A person taking this drug should be aware of the fact that it is only recommended for short term use and only to people who are clinically obese and suffer from various weight loss related medical problems.
Phentermine affect the brain, more precisely the hypothalamus gland. It disrupts the neurotransmitters in the brain, making it believe that the body is actually full even if it is not. This way, a person can actually eat a lot less than he or she used to.
While taking Phentermine, it is very important to follow the doctors prescribed dosage and not stray from it. Don’t try to increase it on your own if you believe that it is not working well enough. Its best that you take it early in the morning on an empty stomach, before you take any food. Don’t crush or chew it, but rather swallow it whole as this way, the ingredients will remain intact an effective. Taking it late in the evening is also not recommended as it can seriously disrupt the sleep.
Phentermine is not recommended for use to kids and anyone else under 16 years old. It is not generally known what effect it can have on people over the age of 60, son this group of people would have to consult their doctor thoroughly before taking the drug. Pregnant women should not take Phentermine as it can potentially cause birth defects, also, breast feeding mothers are another category that should avoid this drug since it can come in contact with the milk. There are also several side effects. Most notables are: chest pain, trouble breathing, tiredness, dizziness, dry mouth and vomiting. Consult your doctor if you experience any of these before you continue taking the drug.
For it to be most effective, Phentermine should be combined with some exercises and diet which should be low on calories. This way, Phentermine can best help you lose weight.
