Adipex and Phentermine
People love to look good so they choose to take different kinds of medicine to make sure he or she stay fit. You have women trying to loose weight by taking different kinds of medicine to make them look great, but men also want to gain muscle and they take medicine to gain muscle weight to get strong. Adipex is a pill that individual take for their diabetes. Doctor describes this medicine so individuals could make sure they obtain their proper weight.
A lot of celebrities use adipex even though it’s for the use of people who have diabetes. Some celebrities feel it’s easier to take one pill that will keep you up and give you energy through out the day then to go to the gym and release some stress. Most celebrities don’t find the time to go visit the gym so why not take adipex.
Phentermine is an imitation of adipex which is used for patients who are obese and would like to lose weight. A person that has a high medical risk uses this to lose weight because it breaks down the chemicals in their brain and it stops a person from eating as much. Most time people lose up to 11 pounds the first week of taking this medicine.
When asked about Phentermine or Adipex people have a lot to say. Some people feel that you should not use this drug because it could cause heart failure. A person was told that they had a heart tack from taking this drug. I have thought about using this drug myself because I wanted to loose a few pounds and I didn’t have the time to visit a gym. I wanted the weight to come off fast, but after listening to some stories about the pill I decided to wait and to make time to exercise and eat healthy.
There are a lot of people using this drug today from celebrities or people that feel that they are obese. A person could order this pill on-line which could cause them up to $147, or they could make a doctors visit and the doctor will check his or hers weight and let them know that it is okay use. Most doctors give people the pills anyway just because they want to get paid. When you visit the doctors and they order you the pills the cost is only about $80. People feel that it is a quick and a cheap way to lose weight fast, so they will go and visit the doctor.
In all, I think that doctors should look at the person history first before prescribing this medicine because he or she should not want to be at fault of someone losing their life from a heart tack or any other kind of complication from this medicine. It is easier to lose weight without exercising by taking a pill, but it can cause more problems for people in the end.
