Phentermine for Weight Loss - New Start

Service Description

This service is for our Phentermine oral weight loss medication new start appointment. It includes a comprehensive physical and medical assessment by one of our trained medical providers, an ECG reading, an InBody body composition assessment with clinical breakdown (a $45 value) and everything else that goes into getting you started out on the medication. Phentermine is an FDA-approved drug intended for weight loss. Its chemical structure is similar to that of the stimulant drug amphetamine, and it’s available only with a prescription. Phentermine belongs to a class of drugs called anorectics, also known as appetite suppressants. Taking Phentermine helps suppress your appetite, thereby limiting how many calories you eat. Over time, this can lead to weight loss. While the exact way Phentermine reduces appetite remains unclear, the drug is thought to act by increasing neurotransmitter levels in your brain. Several clinical studies have shown that Phentermine can support meaningful weight loss. The average weight loss when taking phentermine is 3% of your initial body weight after 3 months and 5–7% after 6 months. Some people report even more weight loss than this. ***New patient appointments will require a one-time $150 medical assessment fee. All future monthly appointments will be $129.
