What is Adipex?
Adipex is one of the names of the active ingredients of Phentermine. This is the most popular product for the treatment of the obesity, the action of which is based on the stimulation of the central nervous system.
If we consider the mechanism of the action of Adipex in details, it helps to cope with the excessive weight by means of the inhibition of hunger. It stimulates the binds of the brain neurons that are responsible for the release of certain group of neurotransmitters known as catecholamine including dopamine, adrenaline and noradrenaline.
Adipex inhibits hunger and causes loss of appetite due to its effect on the central nervous system. Due to the stimulation of the receptors of neurotransmitters, hunger does not appear, and a human does not consume a lot of food.
The principle of the weight loss consists in the creation of the negative daily calorie value (sum of the consumed calories is lower than a sum of the spent calories). As Adipex lowers appetite, a human may control the volume of the consumes food per day, without psychological or physiological discomfort. You will eat less but it will not cause discomfort and stomachache.
Who should take Adipex?
Adipex works well for people with the excessive body weight who do not have results from the use of the non-medicamental methods of the obesity treatment (diet and physical exercises). Adipex should be used by people whose body mass index is more than 30 because the drug provides a specific action and works only during the severe forms of the obesity.
How to take Adipex?
If you decided to use Adipex, you should not skip any dose. The pills should be used strictly in accordance with instruction, every day, at the same time. If you want to control hunger within entire day, it is necessary to take a pill of Adipex 37,5 mg 30 minutes before breakfast. The pills is taken with enough water.
You may take Adipex 37,5 mg after meals but the effect will be worse because you will eat more at breakfast than needed. Despite the fact that Adipex inhibits hunger and accelerates satiation, it does not mean that any food may be consumed. The quality of food also influences on the speed of the weight loss. If you eat fatty meals and fast-food, the effect from the use of Adipex will be insignificant. Stick to the low-carb diet during the treatment, and eat more protein and fiber.
What are side effects?
First of all, it is necessary to mention that if you have never used Adipex or other psychostimulants, you will probably have side effects. This is a peculiarity of the action of all drugs interacting with the central nervous system. But they last for a short period and are soft.
Patients often experience nervousness, insomnia, dizziness, headache, improved mood (euphoria, and ease), and high blood pressure.
Inrarecases, diarrhea or bloating may happen. These side effects pass within 2-3 days.
