Phentermine vs Phentramine
Phentermine and Phentramine are drugs in the pharmaceutical market that are prescribed by physicians or can be bought over the counter for weight loss management.
Both drugs act on the body system by suppressing the hormones responsible for triggering the mechanism of hunger. Thus, it suppresses an individual’s appetite.
Phentermine is indicated for obese patients having a body mass index of more than 30 and who are at risk for cardiovascular diseases due to their weight. It is given for a short period of time for only about a few weeks. It must be combined with diet and exercise to see the full effects.
Phentramine, on the other hand, has the same function has Phentermine. It is branded, however, as ‘all natural’ because it contains ingredients such as ginseng, citrus, black pepper, along with other ingredients such as hoodia which also suppresses the appetite and is used by natives in Africa.
Phentermine is related to Amphetamine. Amphetamine works by increasing the fight/flight system of the body thus increasing the effect of stress hormones in the body. This makes the drug dangerous if taken long term because it causes high blood pressure, palpitations, inability to rest, and insomnia. The FDA or Food and Drug Administration recommends the usage of this drug for not more than 12 weeks. Phentramine has the same side effects as Phentermine. However, Phentermine contains caffeine, a stimulant, which therefore will increase your anxiety level if you possess anxiety disorders.
Phentermine and Phentramine are contraindicated for patients having cardiovascular disease as this may worsen the condition. It also must not be taken by pregnant and lactating women for the fact that it is teratogenic. It is also not indicated for patients having glaucoma, narrowed vessels, and an overactive thyroid.
