PHENTERMINE BeneFITS
People who take phentermine along with a weight loss plan tend to lose more weight than those who just do diet and exercise alone.
In one 2021 study, 80% of participants out of 900 lost at least 5% of their body weight after six months of treatment (15 mg or 30 mg once daily). Another smaller study showed that 86% of participants taking it for 14 weeks lost at least 5% of their body weight.
Here are some of the ways phentermine can support your weight loss and well-being:
Increased Energy Levels
Some people report feeling more energized while taking phentermine.
Reduced Appetite
Phentermine can help curb hunger cravings and make it easier to stick to your eating plan.
Improved Mood
Phentermine may help improve your mood and outlook on your weight loss journey.
Consultation
Your weight loss journey begins with a private consultation at our Santa Monica or Oxnard office. You’ll meet with a qualified Younique provider to discuss your weight loss goals, address concerns, and review your medical history. This is an important opportunity to ask questions and determine if phentermine is a suitable option for your needs.

Build Your Custom Treatment Plan
The path for your Younique journey begins with this first step.
Does phentermine burn fat or just suppress appetite?
Phentermine primarily works by suppressing appetite, which can indirectly support fat loss. It doesn’t directly “burn” fat in the same way that exercise does. By reducing your appetite, it helps you consume fewer calories, which can lead to weight loss and fat loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
How much weight can you lose on phentermine?
Research shows that people taking phentermine typically lose 3-5% of their body weight within the first few months.
What are the potential side effects of phentermine?
Common side effects of phentermine include dry mouth, insomnia (trouble sleeping), constipation, headache, increased heart rate, and elevated blood pressure.
Does phentermine have the same side effects as fen-phen?
Phentermine is not the same as “fen-phen.” Fen-phen was a mix of two drugs, phentermine and fenfluramine.
Fenfluramine was taken off the market because it caused dangerous side effects, including primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) and heart valve problems.
Phentermine alone has not been linked to the same heart valve problems. While there have been very rare cases of lung problems with phentermine by itself, the risk is much lower than with fen-phen.
Who shouldn’t take phentermine?
Phentermine is not recommended for people with certain health conditions, including:
- Heart disease
- Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
- Glaucoma
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure
- Substance abuse disorder
- High anxiety
- Diabetes
- Kidney disease
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Allergies to phentermine or its ingredients
It’s also not recommended for people who consume alcohol regularly or take monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
Phentermine is not approved for people under age 17.
Is phentermine safe?
Phentermine is a Schedule IV drug, so misuse is a risk. However, it’s considered a safe and effective weight loss aid when prescribed and used as directed.
At Younique, we’ll determine the right dosage schedule for you and monitor your health. You’ll typically take it once in the morning or three times daily before meals, but we’ll create a plan that fits your needs.
Phentermine is usually prescribed for up to 12 weeks.
How long does phentermine stay in your system?
Phentermine stays in your system for up to three to four days after your last dose. Half of a single dose takes around 20 hours to leave the body.
Is phentermine the same as Adderall?
No, phentermine and Adderall are not the same. Adderall is a stimulant medication used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy.
How do I get started with phentermine at Younique?
It’s easy! Reach out to us to schedule a consultation at either our Santa Monica or Oxnard location. We’ll take it from there. You can book online or give us a call.
