Oral Prescription Weight Loss Medications (available only in NC and VA)

Phentermine

Phentermine (Adipex-P, Lomaira) is a prescription medicine used to lessen appetite. It can help weight loss by making you less hungry. Or it can help you feel full longer.

The combined drug is approved for long-term use. Phentermine is approved for use for up to 12 weeks. But weight management can take time.

Phentermine is for people with obesity or overweight who haven’t been able to lose enough weight with diet and exercise alone to improve their health.
