How to Choose the Right Medication for Your Patient

Initial patient visits for me are an hour which is a luxury that I know not everybody has and so usually during that time I'll run through all of the medication options with them. Fentermin was originally only FDA approved for short term use which is typically considered somewhere around three months there's a lot of variability though from state to state and prescribing practices around fentermin. The endocrine society in 2015 actually put in their guideline statement that fentermin could be considered to be used off label long term.
