How to take Phentermine
Start the day with a half-pill of Phentermine and a glass of water. If the half-pill’s effectiveness decreases, you can go up to a full pill. Take no more than one tablet in a 24-hour period. Take your medication first thing in morning with plain water and an empty stomach. Wait 30 minutes to an hour before drinking or eating anything other than water. Food and/or drinks can reduce the effectiveness of your drug. The use of Phentermine or appetite suppressants should be in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise, and not as a substitute. Phentermine is not enough to help you lose weight. You must also pay attention to your diet. You must count calories, adopt a healthier diet, and change your lifestyle to avoid gaining the weight back when you stop taking phentermine.
