Phentermine is a prescription appetite suppressant used for weight management in appropriate patients. It works primarily by decreasing appetite and may help patients better manage hunger and portion sizes while following a comprehensive weight management plan.
At West Coast Functional, phentermine treatment is medically supervised and incorporated into an individualized plan rather than treated as a stand-alone solution.
Phendimetrazine is another prescription appetite suppressant that may be considered for appropriate patients seeking medically supervised weight loss.
Like phentermine, phendimetrazine is intended to be used alongside nutrition, physical activity, and behavioral changes. We'll evaluate your health history and goals to determine whether phendimetrazine, phentermine, a GLP-1 medication, or another approach may be appropriate.
-
Prescription appetite suppressants work primarily by affecting signals in the central nervous system involved in hunger and appetite.
For appropriate patients, this may help:
Reduce hunger • Control appetite • Manage cravings • Improve portion control • Support adherence to a nutrition plan
Medication isn't intended to replace healthy habits. We use it as one tool within a broader medical weight management plan that may also include nutrition guidance, physical activity, body-composition monitoring, and ongoing follow-up.
-
Not every patient needs the same approach.
Prescription appetite suppressants such as phentermine and phendimetrazine primarily help decrease appetite.
GLP-1 medications work through different biological pathways involved in appetite, fullness, digestion, and blood glucose regulation and may be used longer-term when clinically appropriate.
One isn't automatically "better" than the other. Your medical history, goals, previous treatments, medication tolerance, and other health considerations all help determine which approach may be appropriate.
-
Prescription appetite suppressants aren't appropriate for everyone. Before prescribing medication, your provider will review factors such as your health history, current medications, blood pressure, weight-related risk factors, and treatment goals.
Certain cardiovascular conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, pregnancy, use of MAO inhibitors, and other medical considerations can affect whether these medications are appropriate.
That's why we believe these medications should be used as part of a medically supervised weight loss program, rather than approached as a quick fix.
-
our care begins with a consultation to understand where you are now and what you've already tried.
From there, we can develop an individualized weight management plan. When medication is appropriate, we'll discuss your options, what to expect, potential side effects and risks, and the follow-up needed to monitor your progress.
Your plan may include prescription appetite suppressants, GLP-1 therapy, nutrition and lifestyle support, body-composition monitoring, or other treatments based on your individual needs.
