Adipex Side effects for using it as diet and weight loss pills

Generally, Adipex appears to be relatively well tolerated.It can produce side effects consistent with its catecholamine-releasing properties, e.g., tachycardia (increased heart rate) and elevated blood pressure, but the incidence and magnitude of these appear to be less than with the amphetamines. Because Adipex acts through sympathomimetic pathways, the drug may increase blood pressure and heart rate. It may also cause palpitations, restlessness, and insomnia. Additionally,Adipex has the potential to cause psychological dependence.

History of Adipex diet and weight loss pills

Phentermine, the base of Adipex, was officially approved by the FDA for use in 1959. Since then, it has been sold under various different names, but Adipex is the most common. It is sold and developed by Gate Pharmaceuticals, and it was produced just 2 years after Phentermine was introduced in 1957. At this time, it uses 37.5mg doses, which is the highest allowable dose of Phentermine, and it has been used in many cases to achieve optimal results in general.

In 1959 phentermine first received approval from the FDA as an appetite suppressing drug. Phentermine hydrochloride then became available in the early 1970s. It was previously sold as Fastin from King Pharmaceuticals for SmithKline Beecham, however in 1998 it was removed from the market. Medeva Pharmaceuticals sells the name brand of phentermine called Ionamin and Gate Pharmaceuticals sells it as Adipex-P. Phentermine is also currently sold as a generic. Since the drug was approved in 1959 there have been almost no clinical studies performed. The most recent study was in 1990 which combined phentermine with fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine and became known as Fen-Phen.

In 1997 after 24 cases of heart valve disease in Fen-Phen users, fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were voluntarily taken off the market at the request of the FDA. Studies later proved that nearly 30% of people taking fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine had abnormal valve findings. The FDA did not ask manufacturers to remove phentermine from the market.

Phentermine is still available by itself in most countries, including the U.S. However, because it is similar to amphetamines, it is classified as a controlled substance in many countries (including Australia). Internationally, phentermine is a schedule IV drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances.In the United States, it is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.

Phentermine is being studied with other medication for obesity. The experimental appetite suppressant drug Qnexa is a mixture of Phentermine and Topiramate. The FDA’s Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee reviewed Qnexa on July 15, 2010. The committee voted narrowly against recommending approval.

What is Adipex ?

Adipex is the most common prescription form of a drug known as Phentermine. It has been known to produce significant results in patients who participated in behavior modification and professional counseling while under the supervision of a licensed physician. Basically speaking, Adipex works as an amphetamine grade ingredient, which is part of why it has never been released to the general public except in prescription form. It works by stimulating the central nervous system, which is why it is not recommended for people with basically any serious medical condition related to the heart, liver, kidneys, etc, and by doing all of this, it effectively suppresses appetite for a few weeks at a time.
