Phentermine is a sympathomimetic amine that works as an appetite suppressant. It is believed to work by increasing the release of neurotransmitters in the brain that control appetite, leading to reduced hunger and food intake. Phentermine is typically used as a short-term weight loss aid in combination with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise.
