All DietsWhat You Should Know
Duromine is the popular name-brand formula for controversial diet supplement Phentermine, usually prescribed to morbidly obese patients. Duromine is usually only available with a doctor’s prescription, although it can be purchased over the Internet without one. Duromine’s main function? To suppress appetite, which is its only purpose. Duromine is one of the few diet supplements the FDA recognizes as a suitable diet aid for morbidly obese patients, but this also means that it must be taken under direct doctor supervision to avoid severe or fatal consequences. Duromine, although proven scientifically effective, also comes with numerous side effects, which is why it is highly recommended Duromine should be taken under doctor supervision. Currently Duromine is only available in Australia and its surrounding countries.
Duromine is available in three strengths — 15mg, 30mg, and 40mg. A doctor will recommend the appropriate strength depending on your health history. Duromine is also free of gluten and preservatives, although it contains gelatin. Because it is a FDA-approved drug, money-back guarantees are served on a case-by-case basis. A doctor may allow you to try free samples if you request it and meet the requirements. Unlike other diet supplements, Duromine has strict requirements and is only recommended for short-term weight loss. Usage should not exceed 12 weeks.
Ingredients
Phentermine, Titanium Dioxide, Magnesium, Carbon Black, Lactosevliquid Paraffin, Gelatin, Brilliant Blue FCF, Iron Oxide Yellow.
Duromine’s 30mg capsules contain Brilliant Blue FCF and Iron Oxide Yellow. Their 40mg capsules contain Erythrosine and Sunset Yellow FCF.
Product Features
Duromine is a prescription-only supplement, only available to patients with a BMI Index over 27 and a history of obesity-related illnesses, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Phentermine, its main ingredient, alters brain chemistry and helps suppress appetite. These claims are medically backed by numerous groups and organizations, including the FDA. Combined with diet and exercise, Duromine claims that it helps morbidly obese patients lower their BMI Index, although the amount of weight loss varies from person to person. Numerous studies conducted on Duromine back up these results.
Unfortunately, Phentermine is highly addictive. Duromine only recommends taking the product for up to 12 weeks. Some patients are ineligible for Duromine if they have a history of addiction or prescription abuse. Phentermine also has numerous side effects, including impotence and diarrhea.
Advantages
- Duromine is FDA approved for quality, truthfulness, and dependability.
- It is clinically proven to suppress appetite.
- Duromine is gluten and preservative free.
Disadvantages
- It is only legally prescribed to patients meeting strict criteria.
- There are numerous side effects, some of which are fatal or severe.
- It is only intended for short weight loss – taking it too long might result in addiction.
- Currently, it is only available through manufacturers in Australia and its surrounding countries.
Conclusion
Although Duromine is a FDA approved drug, it is not completely safe. Numerous side effects should discourage casual dieters, as should the product’s strict guidelines. Duromine is only an option for morbidly obese people with obesity-related illnesses and is not recommended for other body types. A doctor can only recommend and approve this drug for use, and it is very dangerous – and unethical – to take Duromine without a prescription. It does appear to be a viable solution for obese patients who need a short term fix, however.

Just be sensible with your eating and exercise. Your stomach will have shrunk so dont gorge yourself. Being sensible should allow you to keep it off. You wont find it hard to do.

HI Lisa, my partner has been on it for just over a week and her weight seems to be standing still. She nibbles healthy snacks. What did you do differently to promote the weight loss? I don’t want her to feel demotivated. Maybe we’re doing something wrong. Any Advice?

What are the side effects of duromine. I was taking reductil but found it not working and quite expensive. I wanted something that was going to give me a kick – something that was going to motivate me or give me energy

Hi there. I’ve recently started on duromine prescribed by my doctor. I originally went it to ask about reductil but because I take citalopram for long term depression he felt duromine was a little bit safer (after giving me a HUGE talk about side effects etc). I’ve had a friend who has used duromine to successfully give her a head start on her weight loss but she said she felt it working within hours of first taking it yet I feel absolutely NO different other than I get a hot flush about an hour and a half after I’ve taken it that last for a few seconds then disappears. Nothing else has changed with regards to appetite/energy level/sleeping habits etc. Also no side effects (thankfully). If I don’t feel any different do I assume it’s not working. I take 30mg/day. Thanks

I got a thirty day round of duromine and am just starting my last week now. I was a bit scared of all the side effects listed but the only ones I’ve had is a bit of a dry mouth and for the first couple of days I felt a bit “speedy”. From the other reviews I read I was expecting not to even think about eating but I still feel “hungry”, I just have no inclination to eat anything. Strange, but afterall it is an Appetite Supressant, not a Hunger Supressant. I lost 5 kilos in the first week and have only lost 2kgs since then but I have probably been eating too larger meals of an evening when my partner dishes up.
Anyway, just wanted to comment to say I haven’t had any troubles and it is a great kickstart to drop that amount of weight, instead of the disheartening 1/2kg-1kg per week. there are so many bad reviews out there that are quite scary for someone considering use. I’m sure this is because people with bad experiences take the time to review online whereas people who have no troubles don’t bother. Everyone is different, if you have none of the vulnerabilities listed on the information sheet then all you can do is give it a go and if you do start feeling that something is off, stop taking it and see your doctor.

I’ve just started my 2nd week on Duromine and I have to say, I’m impressed. I did a lot of research before I filled my script and the endless list of bad side effects really made me nervous to try it. But this is my 9th day and apart from dry lips (not a dry mouth as such)and a slight pimple break out (2 of the more common side effects) I haven’t experienced any of the really bad side effects. In fact, rather than feeling like I’m running at full speed, I almost feel more relaxed. I take mine when I get up at 8am and go to bed at my normal time of 11pm(ish) it’s strange but I think I’m actually sleeping through the nights better than I ever have. I am down by 3.5kgs and making sure that I’m eating the right amounts at the right times, drinking plenty of water (which I seem to enjoy more now) and I’m keeping active. It’s relieving to not think about food 24 hours a day. I hope others have a positive experience as well.
