Phentermine in Seoul

What Is Phentermine?

Phentermine is a prescription appetite suppressant (sympathomimetic) used as a short-term adjunct to diet and activity in a clinician-supervised weight program. At VEI Clinic, all prescriptions follow local regulations, your medical history, and in-person evaluation.

Who May Be Eligible

• Adults with excess weight where a clinician deems phentermine appropriate
• Able to attend regular follow-ups and follow nutrition/activity guidance
• No conflicting medications or medical conditions (see below)

Who Should Avoid or Delay

• Pregnant/breastfeeding or planning pregnancy
• Uncontrolled hypertension, significant heart disease, arrhythmia, stroke history
• Hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, severe anxiety or insomnia
• Use of MAO inhibitors within the past 14 days
• History of substance misuse
  Your doctor will review all meds (including decongestants, stimulants, and herbal products).

How the Program Works (Visit Flow)

1. Consult & Screening — vitals, medical history, current meds, goals
2. Baseline checks — may include labs (A1c/glucose, CMP, lipids), BP/HR trend
3. Plan & Dosing — short-term trial with clear stop/continue criteria
4. Lifestyle pairing — protein targets, meal structure, step goals, sleep plan
5. Follow-ups — side-effect check, BP/HR review, refills if appropriate

Dosing & Duration

• Start low and adjust only if tolerated and clinically indicated
• Intended for short-term use; continuation requires measurable benefit and safety
• Take earlier in the day to reduce insomnia; avoid combining with other stimulants

Possible Side Effects

• Common: dry mouth, insomnia, restlessness, faster heartbeat, elevated BP, constipation
• Less common/serious: chest pain, shortness of breath, severe headache, mood changes
  Stop and seek care if you experience severe symptoms.

What Improves Outcomes (Beyond the Pill)

• Protein-forward meals and fiber targets
• Daily steps + 2–3 light resistance sessions/week
• Body composition tracking (fat vs muscle) instead of scale alone
• Adjuncts when appropriate: hydration/IV support, micronutrient correction
• Alternatives/combos (case-by-case): semaglutide (Wegovy), tirzepatide (Mounjaro), or non-stimulant options if phentermine isn’t suitable

Pricing & Availability

• Clear estimate after the consult (visit + any labs + medication).
• Availability and prescribing follow Korean regulations; if not suitable/available, your clinician will discuss alternatives.

FAQs

How fast will I notice changes?
Appetite effects can appear within days; body composition shifts are tracked over weeks.

Can I drink coffee?
Limit other stimulants (caffeine/energy drinks) to reduce jitteriness and insomnia.

Can I combine with GLP-1s?
Sometimes, under close supervision. Your doctor will decide based on vitals, side effects, and goals.

Will weight return after stopping?
Long-term results depend on habits. We’ll plan maintenance (nutrition, activity, sleep, stress) before discontinuation.
