Is Phentermine a Safe Weight Loss Treatment?

Is Phentermine a Safe Weight Loss Treatment?

If you’ve tried all the diets and exercise programs and you're still struggling to lose weight, you’re not out of options. At Luxe Women's Health in Queen Creek, Arizona, our certified nurse-midwife and advanced practice registered nurse, Jennifer Wright-Bennion, CNM, APRN, understands that achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is a personal goal that can impact everything from your energy levels to your reproductive health. 

As part of our comprehensive weight loss services, we offer medical support, including the supervised use of prescription medications such as phentermine. But is phentermine safe, and is it right for you?

What is phentermine?

Phentermine is a prescription appetite suppressant in a class of drugs that work by stimulating your central nervous system. It increases your energy levels and heart rate while suppressing your hunger cues. Jennifer offers it as a short-term treatment if you have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), prediabetes, or obesity.

Is phentermine safe?

At Luxe Women’s Health, your safety is our top priority. Jennifer only prescribes phentermine after evaluating your complete health history, lifestyle, and weight loss goals. It’s not right for everyone, but for some, it can make a significant difference.

Phentermine is FDA-approved for temporary use and is generally well tolerated, especially when paired with our weight loss plans and support. However, you’re not a good candidate for phentermine if you have any of the following conditions:

Possible side effects may include:

Our team closely monitors you while you’re on phentermine to help minimize side effects and adjust your plan as needed.

Is phentermine right for you?

Phentermine may be a good fit for you if:

For optimal results, you’ll need to be under Jennifer’s medical supervision.

What to expect during phentermine treatment

When you choose weight loss support at Luxe Women’s Health, you’re never alone in your journey. Our process includes:

Phentermine works best when it’s part of a holistic program, not a standalone solution. That’s why we may also recommend other treatments such as semaglutide, HCG therapy, or hormone replacement therapy, depending on your needs.

At Luxe Women’s Health, we’re passionate about supporting you on your journey to become the healthiest version of yourself. If you're curious about phentermine or other medical weight loss treatments, we’re here to support you.

Call our Queen Creek, Arizona, office or schedule a consultation online today to see if phentermine is right for you.
