Adipex-p indication and usage
ADIPEX-P®(phentermine hydrochloride) is indicated as a shortterm (a few
weeks) adjunct in a regimen of weight reduction based on exercise,
behavioral modification and caloric restriction in the management of
exogenous obesity for patients with an initial body mass index ≥30
kg/m2, or ≥27 kg/m2 in the presence of other risk factors (e.g.,
hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia).
Below is a chart of Body Mass Index (BMI) based on various heights
and weights.
BMI is calculated by taking the patient’s weight, in kilograms (kg),
divided by the patient’s height, in meters (m), squared. Metric
conversions are as follows: pounds ÷ 2.2 = kg; inches x 0.0254 =
meters. (see answers about BMI)
