Lower dosages of phentermine-fenfluramine given in the afternoon: five cases with significant weight loss

Article Abstract:

It may be appropriate to adjust the use of phentermine and fenfluramine to treat obesity to better target the eating habits of obese people, who tend to not eat breakfast and eat more in the afternoon and evening. Five cases of severely obese women with medical complications who were treated with phentermine 8mg twice a day and fenfluramine 20mg per day indicate that significant short-term weight loss can be achieved by using both afternoon dosing of phentermine-fenfluramine and a reduced dose of fenfluramine.

A program of group weight loss for obese infertile women shows little difference in results with or without an addition of 12 weeks of dexfenfluramine treatment. The use of dexfenfluramine involves insignificant difference on depression, anxiety, or the subject's self esteem.
