Although no-one can be 100% sure about the safety of any product,
present medical research indicates it is. Phentermine is still suffering a loss
of faith from the Fen/Phen problems a few years ago. This was when the fenfluramine
and dexfenfluramine used in conjunction with Phentermine, caused some cases of
heart disease. There are few long-term studies evaluating the safety or effectiveness
Phentermine. In particular, the safety and effectiveness of combining more than
one diet drug or combining diet drugs with other medications for the purpose of
weight loss is unknown.
To substantiate this, if you visit www.fda.gov/cder/news/phen/fenphenqa2.htm
(the FDA's site) it states;
Why isn't phentermine being withdrawn from the
market?
At the present time, no cases of heart valve disease meeting FDA's
case definition have been reported with phentermine alone. Analysis of the data
points to an association of heart valve disease with fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine."
Some other common questions / concerns are;
Isn't Phentermine an Amphetamine?
Phentermine is a sympathetic amine, classified as an anorectic medication under
schedule IV of the Drug Enforcement Agency's Controlled Substances Act. Although
phentermine is a stimulant, it is not classified as an amphetamine. Amphetamines
have much greater abuse potential, work primarily on dopamine receptors, and are
mostly, if not entirely classified under schedule II. The lower the number, the
more abuse potential the medication has.
Is ordering Phentermine online
safe?
There is no reason to suggest that an in-person review of a persons
history is any more relevant than an on-line consultation. In other words, for
the majority of individuals, the Internet is a safe, confidential, and convenient
place to seek treatment. A thorough review of a patient's consultation form will
provide enough information to provide an accurate diagnosis for proper treatment.
Does
Phentermine speed up my metabolism?
Phentermine DOES have some thermogenic
effect. What this means in plain English, is that it speeds up your metabolism.
This effect lasts long after you feel any other effects from the medication. However,
the thermogenic effect of phentermine and any other currently available obesity
medications is minor compared to the effect on appetite. The major reason that
phentermine results in weight loss, is that patients eat less. The thermogenic
effect, on the other hand, may be useful in weight maintenance.
