About Duromine

Duromine is a prescription medication used for weight reduction and works by making an impact on the area of the brain that controls hunger as well as appetite. Taking duromine lowers hunger in children. Duromine is not a miracle medication and is used as part of a larger weight management program that includes exercise and diet. Duromine contains the generic medication called phentermine. The chemical composition of Duromine is similar to that of amphetamine, which also increases levels of energy. Duromine is a drug that is recommended for patients who have a BMI of over 27 and who also suffer from diabetes, high BP or obesity.

A Duromine capsule typically contains carbon black, titanium dioxide, gelatine, magnesium stearate, lactose liquid

paraffin and phentermine. A resin is mixed with phentermine resulting in Duromine, which has a slow-release impact, so as to extend its effect all day long. Before you begin medication, you should inform your doctor if you have been allergic to any form of the drug in the past. You will need to discuss your medical history with your doctor and tell him/her if you have high BP, heart disease, diabetes or epilepsy. Also, you should inform your doctor if you are taking any other medications, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How to take it

Duromine should be swallowed whole by consuming a lot of water; take care not to open or chew the capsules. Take Duromine at the time of breakfast. If you take it at the same time every day, it work the best. You could take the medication either before or after food. Increasing the dosage of Duromine does not necessarily make your weight loss process speedier, so don’t take extra dosages on your own. The National Institutes of Health says that you should take the medication for about a month, because there are chances of you getting addicted to the drug. Take it only for the duration of your prescribed treatment and not beyond it.

Beware of side-effects

Taking Duromine may have some side-effects in some patients, although it is rare to have any serious side-effects. You may have trouble falling sleep, experience nervousness, headaches, tremor, nausea or vomiting. You may also have a higher than normal level of BP, experience irregular/abnormal heart beats, chest pain, tiredness, depression and cramps among other effects. Bring any side-effect to the attention of your doctor as soon as possible for immediate treatment.

About Duromine

Those who suffer from diseases like diabetes, have high cholesterol and blood pressure can also use the drug. It is not recommended for the elderly or children under 18 years of age as it could result in serious health problems. Ideally, Duromine is prescribed to patients for a specific time period and the dosages also tend to be specific.

How it works
Duromine suppresses your appetite throughout the day by working with the transmitters in the brain. Theses transmitters release adrenaline and dopamine into the blood stream to suppress appetite and increase energy levels. Since the main ingredient, Phentermine, alters the central nervous system (CNS) and reduces cravings throughout the day. It doesn’t increase metabolism or burn extra calories but it makes sure that users stay in control of their diet and stick to it. It has been clinically proven to help with appetite suppression.  Phentermine is a drug similar to amphetamine and as such, increases energy levels and keeps users feeling fresh throughout the day.  This is why it is not recommended to use Duromine at night, as it could lead to insomnia.

Benefits of Duromine
Duromine, when used properly and in combination with regular physical activity and a proper diet, can help you maximize weight loss. It gives you the opportunity to change your lifestyle and make it a more healthy one. Along with weight loss, Duramine makes burning fat easier by and improves insulin sensitivity. Insulin is a bodily secretion that controls a person’s metabolism and digestion.  When you consume Duromine and work out regularly, there is more fat tissue burned and insulin sensitivity is increased.

Duromine leads to weight loss and this, in turn, reduces the risk factors of various diseases of cardiovascular diseases, hyperlipidemia, gastrointestinal diseases and more. Weight loss can help with reducing angina, dyspnea and increasing high-density lipoproteins. Respiratory problems are also eradicated with users noting that after significant weight loss, sleep apnea was no longer an issue. Pain in the joints and along the spine are also notably reduced, according to people who have used Duromine and followed their dietary and activity plans diligently.

Things to Consider Before Using Duromine
Like most medication, it is important to let your doctor know about previous medical history before being prescribed. Conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, drug abuse etc need to be revealed. In addition, any medication that you are currently taking has to be disclosed. Pregnancy or plans of becoming pregnant over the coming months also play a role. Allergies to any kind of medication should also be conveyed to your doctor. All of this information will help your doctor make an informed decision about whether Duromine is right for you or not. The doctor will also inform you if you

should take the 15mg, 30mg or 45mg tablets.

What To Eat When You’re Using Duromine
Since Duromine is used to lose weight, it works well with a combination of diet and exercise. Diet obviously plays a major role and needs to be managed strictly. In the beginning stages of the program, eating proportionate amounts of food without overeating will help you lose weight. As the program continues, the aim is to get the ideal diet to maximize weight loss. This includes reducing fats to only 20% of the diet, increase protein intake and consume good amounts of complex carbohydrates. When it comes to simple carbs, a maximum limit of 100 grams per day is recommended. Cold drinks, fast food, sweets and pastries should be taken out of the diet. Salt, fried food and alcohol must also be avoided while on Duromine.  This is because Duromine’s effect is neutralized when alcohol is consumed, as alcohol tends to build up an appetite.
Your daily food intake must be spread out and the last meal should be consumed at least 2-3 hours before bed.  Steamed dishes are ideal for low-calorie diets and you can split your meals into 4-6 smaller portions for consumption throughout the day.

Staying Active While on Duromine
Duromine will only work if the person is willing to make dietary changes  and maintain an active lifestyle. The amount of physical exercise that is recommended depends on the age, weight and health condition of the patient.  The more active a person is, the more calories they burn even while resting. Studies have shown that people who are active burn up to 5 times more calories than inactive people.  It is important to note that physical activity does not necessarily mean sports. Being active around the house and doing simple exercises could also benefit patients.  Playing with your kids, cleaning the house or walking around is also considered physical exercise. The amount of exercise you need to do is also dependent on the weight you’re trying to lose. Since Duromine cannot be used for long periods of time, you have around 3 months to take full advantage of it. Moreover, people who exercise regularly also avoid risks of major diseases like cancer, coronary heart diseases, high blood pressure etc. Overall, physical activity is great for losing weight and leading a generally healthy lifestyle.

Tips For Proper Usage

Here are few tips to use the drug properly and ensure that weight loss is achieved at the best rate possible:

• Always consult a physician before using Duromine or any other weight loss pills. Since it is a prescription medication, it is not available for over the counter purchase.
• Duromine must be consumed before breakfast or within 2 hours of breakfast. The pills contain resin which means that the tablets will be effective for around 24 hours after consumption.
• People who are allergic to the ingredients in the pills, will not see the benefits of  Duromine. This is why it is important to inform your doctor about what you’re  allergies are, so that alternate medication can be prescribed.
• Never use Duromine for more than the prescribed time. Like most prescription drugs,  it can be addictive and lead to severe side effects.
• Duromine will not be effective if you do not restrict your diet. Avoid fatty foods and meats such as sausages, mayonnaise and other processed foods. If meat if preferred, consider cutting the skin off the meat to reduce fat.  Fatty food prevents the effectiveness of Duromine as it prevents the drug’s absorption in the gastro-intestinal tract.
• Instead of consuming 2-3 big meals every day, try breaking them into smaller portions and have 4-6 meals per day. Duromine will keep you relatively satisfied after small meals and prevent cravings.
• Alcohol is to be avoided when using Duromine. Not only does alcohol contain calories, it also encourages calorie intake in the form of cravings. Many drinks also have a lot of sugar in them and thus can be damaging. Alcohol abuse while on Duromine might lead to liver problems and interfere with weight loss significantly.
• A regular workout plan is a must for weight loss under Duromine. The drug is only used to prevent the cravings for food, it will not automatically cause weight loss. Moreover, regular physical activity has its own benefits. It is also possible to develop a liking to physical activity on a long-term basis and thus have better health.
• If you experience any sudden symptoms like rapid breathing, chest pains, swelling and unusually fast weight loss, it is recommended to visit the doctor.

A Word of Caution

Duromine has relatively minor side effects including restlessness, dry mouth, excessive energy, euphoria, change in sex drive, headaches and more. These side effects occur rarely and you should consult your physician if severe symptoms are seen. Like most medication, Duromine needs to be taken for a certain amount of time and for certain periods. Phentermine is similar to amphetamines in the sense that it is a powerful medication but it can also be highly addictive. Overuse can lead to addiction and have severe consequence. The amount of time that one used Duromine has not been set in stone. Some experts recommend using it continuously for 3 months while others claim 3-4 weeks is the maximum time of usage. Depending on your age, health status and weight, your doctor is likely to come up with a timeline for you, it is important to stick to this timeline at all costs.
