Phentermine for Weight Loss in California
Jahan’s Wellness Lounge provides telehealth weight-management evaluations for adults in California who may be candidates for phentermine. Meet with a licensed nurse practitioner from home to discuss your health history, weight-loss goals, previous treatments, and whether phentermine may be an appropriate option for you.
Prescription treatment is provided only when medically appropriate following an evaluation.
What Is Phentermine?
Phentermine is a prescription medication used as part of a weight-management program for appropriate patients. It works primarily by reducing appetite, which may make it easier to follow a reduced-calorie eating plan.
Who May Be a Candidate for Phentermine?
Eligibility may consider BMI and certain weight-related health conditions.
BMI & Health Factors
Medical history, medications, vital signs and previous weight-loss efforts are reviewed.
Medical Evaluation
Treatment is recommended only when clinically appropriate.
Individual Eligibility
FDA labeling for phentermine includes adults with an initial BMI of 30 kg/m² or greater, or 27 kg/m² or greater when certain weight-related risk factors are present, such as controlled hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol.
Phentermine May Not Be Appropriate For Everyone
Certain medical conditions, medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and other health factors may make phentermine inappropriate. Your medical history and medication list are reviewed before treatment is considered.
Disclaimer: A consultation does not guarantee a prescription. Phentermine is prescribed only when the provider determines that treatment is medically appropriate.
Phentermine Safety & Side Effects
Like all prescription medications, phentermine is not appropriate for everyone. Your medical history and potential contraindications are reviewed before treatment is considered.
Common Side Effects
Possible side effects may include dry mouth, constipation, dizziness, headache, difficulty sleeping, increased heart rate, or increased blood pressure.
Important Safety Considerations
Phentermine should not be used in certain patients, including those with a history of certain cardiovascular diseases. Medical history, medications, vitals, and potential contraindications are reviewed as part of the evaluation.
Ongoing follow-up visits help monitor response, vital signs, tolerability, and ongoing treatment needs.
