Phendimetrazine Tartrate 35 mg

What Is Phendimetrazine Tartrate?

Phendimetrazine Tartrate 35 mg is a prescription-only, FDA‑approved sympathomimetic anorectic (appetite suppressant) used for short-term weight management in individuals with exogenous obesity. It works by suppressing appetite through central nervous system stimulation.

Available in convenient 35 mg oral tablets, it helps support calorie-restricted diets and structured exercise programs

• Clinically proven: FDA-approved for short-term obesity management (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m², or ≥ 27 kg/m² with weight-related risk factors)

• Rapid appetite control: Typically taken 1 hour before meals—2 to 3 times daily—starting at 35 mg; some patients may begin with half-tabs (17.5 mg)

• Multiple manufacturers approved: FDA approvals span from Elite Laboratories (2019), Aidarex (2012), to A‑S Medication Solutions (2025

How It Works
