Step 1: Schedule a Medical Evaluation
Before starting Adipex, you must have a medical evaluation with a licensed provider. This visit typically includes:
-
Review of medical history and medications
-
Weight, BMI, and vital signs
-
Discussion of prior weight loss attempts
-
Screening for conditions that may prevent safe use
Not everyone is a candidate for phentermine, and patient safety always comes first.
Step 2: Determine Eligibility
You may qualify for Adipex if you:
-
Have a BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with weight-related conditions
-
Do not have contraindications such as uncontrolled hypertension or certain heart conditions
-
Are able to participate in regular follow-up visits
Eligibility is determined on an individual basis.
Step 3: Begin Treatment With Monitoring
If approved, your provider will:
-
Prescribe the appropriate dose
-
Review potential side effects
-
Set expectations for weight loss and lifestyle changes
-
Schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and safety
Regular follow-up is required to continue treatment.
Step 4: Combine Medication With Lifestyle Changes
Phentermine works best when paired with:
-
A structured nutrition plan
-
Portion control and protein-focused meals
-
Physical activity appropriate for your ability
-
Ongoing accountability and support
Medication alone is not a long-term solution — sustainable habits are essential.
