What is Phentermine Resin?
Reducing weight in obese patients when used short-term and combined with exercise, diet, and behavioral modification.
Phentermine Resin is an appetite suppressant. It works by helping to release certain chemicals in the brain that control appetite.
Phentermine Resin indications
Phentermine Resin extended-release capsules are indicated as a short-term (a few weeks) adjunct in a regimen of weight reduction based on exercise, behavioral modification and caloric restriction in the management of exogenous obesity for patients with an initial body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2, or ≥ 27 kg/m2 in the presence of other risk factors (e.g., controlled hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia).
Below is a chart of body mass index (BMI) based on various heights and weights.
BMI is calculated by taking the patient’s weight, in kilograms (kg), divided by the patient’s height, in meters (m), squared. Metric conversions are as follows: pounds ÷ 2.2 = kg; inches x 0.0254 = meters.
