Phentermine is one of the many appetite suppressants available today. Other brand names in this category are Xerisan ASA, Adipex, Solidax ADX, Fat Absorber TDSL, Kava-Herbal, Xenical, Bontril, Meridia and many more. These diet pills are usually used for weight loss in conjunction with a balanced diet and a routine exercise program. However, a balanced diet and exercise are not a requirement but work as means of accelerating the effects of Phentermine and provides quicker weight loss. As an appetite suppressant, Phentermine provides weight loss by reducing hunger.
