    True phentermine is only available by prescription and should only be prescribed for short periods for the morbidly obese.

    Phentramine, phentremine, phentamine, phetermine, phentamin, and phen375 are all just plays on the legal drug and are not approved drugs. They are classified as dietary supplements..

    Most are a blend of herbs, spices, and loaded with caffeine. Phentremine 375 contains capsaicin which is - chili powder. It claims another ingredient is similar to ephedra - a banned weight loss drug. Another is supposed to be chemically related to an amphetamine. Another is just caffeine. They put a bunch of scientific names on a bunch of common names to make it sound impressive or to hide the ingredients.

    Just another caffeinated diet pill. And not worth the money or possible side effects. Watch the spelling.

    Luck.
