What is Phentermine?
Discover what Phentermine is, how it works, and its benefits as a weight loss solution. Learn about its role in appetite suppression, and its effectiveness in helping individuals achieve and maintain their weight loss goals.
What is Phentermine and why can it help with weight loss?
Phentermine is a powerful tool in the fight against obesity and weight issues, offering a targeted approach to appetite control. As one of the most commonly prescribed weight loss medications, it has helped countless individuals achieve their weight loss goals. At The Slimming Clinic, we have over 40 years of experience prescribing weight loss medication like Phentermine, helping individuals manage their hunger and achieve their weight loss goals. This medication not only reduces hunger but also enhances feelings of fullness, making it easier to stick to a healthy eating plan.
The medication will help you stick to a healthy eating plan by making you feel less hungry during the day, so less prone to snack or graze, and making you feel fuller when you eat, helping to reduce portion size. It is important that you maintain a good number of healthy, balanced calories each day so that you fuel your body to burn the excess body fat you want to lose. Our medication does not, nor would we recommend, that you suppress your appetite completely.
By choosing a medication like Phentermine at The Slimming Clinic, you can be assured that your fully qualified online weight loss doctor and medical practitioners will carefully guide you through how appetite suppressants work and how they will aid your personal weight loss journey.

What are the Phentermine side effects?
Phentermine, like all medications, can cause side effects, though not everyone will experience them. Common side effects include increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, dry mouth, restlessness, and insomnia. Some people may also experience dizziness, tremors, headaches, or constipation – full list here. These side effects often diminish as your body adjusts to the medication.
To manage these, it’s important to monitor your heart rate and blood pressure regularly, avoiding excessive caffeine to prevent spikes. Staying hydrated can help alleviate dry mouth, and chewing sugar-free gum or sucking on ice cubes may offer relief. If restlessness or insomnia occurs, taking Phentermine earlier in the day can minimise sleep disturbances, while establishing a calming bedtime routine may further promote better rest. For dizziness, ensuring you’re well-hydrated and standing up slowly from sitting or lying positions can help.
If you experience persistent or severe side effects, it’s essential to consult with your healthcare provider for further guidance.
