Phentermine for Refractory Obesity: Unpredictable Response

This research navigates the challenging terrain of refractory obesity, exploring the effectiveness of phentermine resinate as a treatment option. The authors examine the relationship between plasma phentermine levels, weight loss, and side effects in a group of women with refractory obesity. Their findings reveal that while some individuals experience significant weight loss, the response to phentermine is unpredictable, suggesting that factors beyond plasma drug concentration play a role in treatment success.
