Specific Weight Loss Medications in Our Classic Program

Phentermine:

The World's Most Popular Weight Loss Medication

Since 1959, phentermine has been a reliable and proven weight loss medication. As the most widely used weight loss drug globally, phentermine offers various doses to accommodate individual sensitivities. For optimal results, expert monitoring and, if necessary, combination with topiramate are recommended.

Phentermine dosages include:

8mg

15mg

30mg

37.5mg


Phendimetrazine: A Short-Acting Alternative

Phendimetrazine, a prescription medication similar to phentermine, effectively supports weight loss when combined with diet and exercise. Though formerly known as Bontril, this brand is no longer available. Phendimetrazine's shorter half-life requires multi-dose, multi-time scheduling, unlike phentermine's all-day duration.

Phendimetrazine doses:

Diethylpropion: A Versatile Niche Option

Diethylpropion, akin to phentermine and phendimetrazine, is a medical weight loss medication previously branded as Tenuate Dospan. Its effectiveness varies among individuals. Diethylpropion dosages include:

25mg

75mg


Topiramate: A Beneficial Add-on

Topiramate, an anti-seizure and migraine medication, can promote weight loss and is a component of the 2012 drug Qsymia. It can enhance the effects of classic weight loss drugs like phentermine. Learn more about topiramate's pros and cons on our topiramate enhancement page.
