DUROMINE Capsules
Duromine contains the active ingredient phentermine. Phentermine is combined with a resin which slowly releases the phentermine so the effect of Duromine lasts all day.
Duromine is used to reduce body weight in obese or overweight patients.
Why use duromine for weight loss
Duromine is an appetite suppressant that works by directly affecting the area of the brain that controls your appetite making you feel less hungry.
uromine (Phentermine) is an anorectic agent (an agent that suppresses appetite). It is for people with overweight and weight-related complications or obesity. It is meant to be used as a short-term adjunct in a comprehensive regimen of weight reduction, which includes diet and exercise.
Duromine should be used as a part of an overall weight management plan, which includes a medically controlled diet and exercise program.
Duromine (Phentermine) can support meaningful weight loss by reducing /surprising your hunger or making you feel full longer. The expected average weight loss with phentermine use is 5-10% of your initial body weight over 12 weeks.
How does duromine work?
Duromine (Phentermine) is an indirect-acting sympathomimetic amine that works on the central nervous system to suppress appetite. Duromine has also been reported to inhibit neuropeptide Y which is the primary signally pathway for the induction of hunger and this can help weight loss by decreasing your hunger and making you feel full for longer.
Phentermine belongs to a class of drugs called anorectics, also known as appetite suppressants.
Taking phentermine helps suppress your appetite, thereby limiting how many calories you eat. Over time, this can lead to weight loss.
While the exact way phentermine reduces appetite remains unclear, the drug is thought to act by increasing neurotransmitter levels in your brain (6Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source).
Neurotransmitters — the chemicals norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamineare — are your body’s chemical messengers (6Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source).
When your levels of these three chemicals increase, you’re feeling of hunger decreases.
However, you may build a tolerance to the appetite-suppressing effects of phentermine within a few weeks. If that happens, speak with the healthcare professional who prescribed it.
