Adipex is a prescription medication that is used to help with weight loss. Its generic name is Phentermine, which belongs to a class of drugs called sympathomimetic amines. Adipex works as an appetite suppressant and is typically prescribed for short-term use, along with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise, to aid in weight reduction in overweight or obese individuals.
The main function of Adipex is to decrease the feeling of hunger by stimulating the release of certain chemicals in the brain that control appetite. It works by increasing the levels of norepinephrine, also known as adrenaline, in the body. By doing so, it can help the user feel full and satisfied with smaller amounts of food.
