What is Duromine 30mg?
Duromine 30mg is a prescription-only appetite suppressant containing phentermine. It is specifically formulated to assist with weight management in individuals who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or 27 and above when other risk factors like hypertension or diabetes are present.
How Duromine Works
The active ingredient, phentermine, is bound to an ion-exchange resin. This unique formulation allows for a modified release, ensuring the medication is absorbed slowly over 10 to 14 hours. It works by stimulating the hypothalamus in the brain to release norepinephrine, which helps to reduce hunger signals throughout the day.
Usage and Dosage
Duromine should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Typically, one capsule is taken daily, preferably before breakfast to avoid potential insomnia. It is intended for short-term use (usually up to 12 weeks) as part of a comprehensive weight management plan that includes diet and exercise.
Important Safety Information
As a sympathomimetic amine, Duromine can cause side effects such as dry mouth, restlessness, and increased heart rate. It is important to consult with a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before starting this medication to ensure it is safe for you, especially if you have a history of heart disease or high blood pressure.
