How Does Phentermine Work?
Phentermine works in the brain by suppressing the appetite, and it may also increase the metabolism. Phentermine is chemically related to amphetamines.
Phentermine Use in Children
Phentermine is not approved for treating obesity in children. Talk to your child's healthcare provider about the benefits and risks of using phentermine in children.
Off-Label Phentermine Uses
On occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend phentermine for something other than weight loss. This is called an "
off-label" use. At this time, however, there are no universally accepted legitimate phentermine off-label uses.
