Phentermine & Adipex-P® Weight Loss with Oceans
Explore provider-supervised phentermine treatment through Oceans Weight Loss, including discussion of Adipex-P®, a brand-name phentermine product. Phentermine is a prescription medication that may be used for short-term weight management in eligible patients together with nutrition, activity and behavioral changes.
What Is Phentermine?
Phentermine is a prescription sympathomimetic medication approved as a short-term adjunct to a weight-reduction program based on caloric restriction, exercise and behavioral modification.
Adipex-P® is a brand-name phentermine hydrochloride product. Patients searching for Adipex, Adipex-P or phentermine are therefore often referring to the same active medication, although the specific prescription product is determined by the treating provider.
Phentermine is not appropriate for everyone. Oceans begins with a medical evaluation so a provider can review your current weight, health history, medications, goals and potential risk factors before determining whether phentermine may be appropriate.
