About OTC Appetite Suppressants

What Are OTC Appetite Suppressants?

Appetite suppressants are drugs that are designed to accelerate weight loss by reducing appetite. Some appetite suppressants include benzphetamine, diethylpropion, and mazindol, but many brand names using these medications have been discontinued. Probably the most commonly known appetite suppressant is phentermine, which belongs to the anorectics class of medications. Phentermine has been widely embraced and utilized in weight loss programs, including in books like Be the Least You Can Be: Getting the Most Out of Your Phentermine Based Weight Loss Program. Although phentermine may have some benefits when used according to the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional, it should be noted that this medication is intended for short-term use. Appetite suppressants are sometimes abused by people who are seeking to increase their energy or happiness, and may lead to dependence.
