Could you please tell me what the active ingredient is in the diet pill "phentermine"?
Question:
Answer:
Phentermine Hydrochloride is what Phentermine is.
Yes, phentermine is half of phen-fen BUT the other half is no longer prescribed nor is the combination. Phentermine on its own does not cause the damage that the combination did (actually most of the damage was done by the other drug).
Phentermine is part one component of the diet drug Fen Fen. Fen Fen contained phentermine and pondimin. Phentermine is basically an "upper" - it's the diet prescription equivalent to speed. It should only be taken in a very well monitored situation with the knowledge of a reputable MD. Phentermine has been known to cause strokes and heart valve deformities in healthy young women.
