Honestly, weight loss medicines vary a lot person to person. Phentermine can help reduce appetite but it's not a magic pill. You need to combine it with a proper diet and exercise for best results, and definitely under a doctor's supervision.

Hey! So, the amount of weight loss really depends on how your body reacts and what your lifestyle changes are. Some people see good results, others not so much. Best to chat with your doctor about realistic expectations! 😊

As a pharmacist, I can tell you that phentermine is a short-term aid. You might see 5-10% of your initial body weight loss in the first 12 weeks, but this is usually when combined with diet and exercise. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions closely because of potential side effects.

I totally get it, wanting to know what to expect. With phentermine, I've heard some people lose a good amount in the first few months, but it really varies. It's more of a kickstarter, not a long-term solution by itself. Please ensure you are discussing this with your prescribing doctor for sure.

Beta, these medicines have their own pros and cons. While they may help a bit, true health comes from discipline. Good food, proper rest, and maybe some walking. Don't rely solely on pills, always listen to your doctor and try to eat ghar ka khaana.
