Everyone is different in terms of how much weight they lose. On phentermine, many individuals experience rapid initial weight loss. It's not uncommon to see significant progress within the first two weeks of starting treatment, with an average weight loss of 3-7 pounds or more during this time.

Everyone is different in terms of how fast they lose weight. With Phentermine, rapid weight loss is often observed in the initial stages of treatment. It's typical for individuals to experience a significant reduction in weight within the first two weeks. With Semaglutide, the journey to weight loss is a gradual process. While some individuals may notice initial results, it's common for significant weight loss to begin around 6-8 weeks into treatment or when reaching approximately the 1mg dose. Over the initial 9-16 weeks of treatment, the dosage is slowly increased to reach the full therapeutic dose. Gradually increasing the dose of the medication, minimizes the side effects and maximizes the benefit of the medication.

Weight loss medications typically work in a few ways:

Appetite suppression: Many medications help reduce feelings of hunger and cravings, making it easier for individuals to consume fewer calories.

Metabolism boost: Some medications increase metabolism, which can lead to more calories being burned, even at rest.

Phentermine has been FDA approved and used safely since 1959. It is not addictive and does not have serious or long term side effects. Some people are scared of weight loss medications because of a different weight loss drug fenfluramine that was found to be dangerous and pulled off the market in 1997. That medication was commonly mixed with phentermine (Fen-Phen).
