phentermine is a sympathomimetic amine, and is closely related to
amphetamines. it is prescribed as an
appetite supressant to the
obese and is used in conjunction with
diet and
exercise to aid in
weight loss.
like
amphetamines, this drug can cause dependancy with
withdrawal symptoms when the drug is removed from the system. for this reason, the
drug is recommended only as a short-term
therapy and only for those who are
obese (30% or more
overweight).
