Duromine and Panbesy are US FDA, clinically proven prescription medication for the treatment of obesity. The active ingredient in Duromine and Panbesy is phentermine- a potent appetite suppressant that releases neurotransmitters in the brain to provide a sensation of fullness and reduce food intake. Together with a proper diet and exercise, reduced caloric intake leads to weight loss.
Duromine and Panbesy are prescription weight-loss medications1, to be used under the guidance of a doctor for patients who meet the following criteria:
Body Mass Index (BMI) above 30 (severe obesity); or
Body mass Index (BMI) above 27 with obesity related chronic disease (eg hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol)
Who have not managed to meet their body weight targets through diet and exercise alone.
How much weight can you lose when taking Duromine or Panbesy?
A 12-week clinical trial with Phentermine found that over 90% of participants lost more than 5% of their body weight, and 62% of participants lost more than 10% of their body weight. Duromine and Panbesy is FDA-approved for short-term use up to 12 weeks, long term use is not encouraged.

What is the difference between Duromine and Panbesy?
