Adipex is a prescription medication used to treat obesity. It is a sympathomimetic amine that works by increasing the release of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. This leads to increased alertness, decreased appetite, and increased energy expenditure. Adipex is typically used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise program.
Adipex is a controlled substance and can only be obtained with a prescription from a doctor. It is important to take Adipex exactly as prescribed, as misuse can lead to serious side effects, including addiction, heart problems, and seizures. Adipex should not be taken by people with a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or seizures.
