Phentermine is an appetite suppressant that can help patients avoid eating as often or as much. Sometimes we can combine this with other medications for a more effective result. This is usually combined with diet and exercise and is for those needed to lose a smaller amount of weight over 3-6 months. All weight management services include nutritional guidance and counseling with on-demand access to our provider during business hours. Phentermine requires an in person evaluation and a recent EKG to qualify.
