- What makes me a candidate for your program? To be a candidate, we must check your list of current medications to ensure there is no interaction with Phentermine during your initial visit. We will also need to check your medical history for any complications that would restrict you and how. Lastly, we require a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 27.0 or higher, which can be checked here.
- What kind of payment do you accept? We accept all credit cards and cash, but no checks.
- Do you take insurance? No, we do not file under insurance.
- Are there other options besides Phentermine? Yes, we offer Bontril and Adipex. Adipex is the brand name for Phentermine. Bontril (brand name for Phendimetrazine) is an option we often prescribe if a patient experiences strong side-effects to Phentermine, or requires a smaller, short-acting dosage.
- Can I be in the program and not take Phentermine? Yes, but the appointment price stays the same. Please note, we will not allow individuals to join the program even without the prescribing of medication if there are factors that would prevent you from joining regularly (such as those on the homepage).
- I'm taking a blood pressure medication - is that ok? Yes, we actually prefer our patients to have their blood pressure under control before beginning a medication like Phentermine. Those with blood pressures that exceed our accepted level will be asked to speak with their primary care physician and can not receive the medication.
- How expensive is the medication? A 30-day supply of Phentermine can easily be found from $11-$15, but the price often depends on which pharmacy you choose. We have a few preferred pharmacies we can recommend, but regional pharmacy chains can also utilize free coupons from GoodRX.com.
