Phentermine 37.5mg is typically taken 1/2 tab AM and 1/2 tab lunch.
Nothing past 1:00pm since it can disrupt sleep.
Patient my increase to one full tablet daily based on their tolerance.
Phendimetrazine 35mg tablet is a lighter dose of Phentermine and can be taken 3x daily.
We typically prescribe this if patient has stated phentermine is too strong, or didn’t work anymore.
If a patient is NOT a candidate for either of the above due to heart issues, stints, uncontrolled blood pressure, etc… you will carry ProTrim in the office which is a non stimulant that is taken 15-20 minutes before meals up to 4x daily.
Can also be double upped at night, mid day, etc…this is nice since the patient can customize it as needed.
