Phentermine? Phentermiine is a common misspelling of phentermine.
Phentermine (Adipex-P®) is a medication used to suppress the appetite to help with weight loss. It is available by prescription and is approved for short-term use only. Clinical studies show that phentermine is effective for weight loss, but these effects decreased after the first few weeks. The drug comes in capsule and tablet form, and is usually taken once a day, either before breakfast or one to two hours after breakfast.
