Adipex is a brand name for phentermine, a prescription medication primarily used as an appetite suppressant. It belongs to a class of drugs known as sympathomimetic amines, which are similar to amphetamines. Adipex works by stimulating the central nervous system, increasing heart rate and blood pressure, and decreasing appetite. It is commonly prescribed for short-term use to help individuals who are obese or overweight lose weight in conjunction with diet and exercise.

Adipex effectively reduces hunger, helping individuals consume fewer calories and adhere to a calorie-restricted diet.

By stimulating the central nervous system, Adipex can enhance energy levels, making it easier for individuals to engage in physical activity.
