Phentermine is a prescription appetite suppressant, and deciding whether it belongs in a weight management plan starts with medical screening. REVAMP Wellness Center offers Phentermine + MIC in Jacksonville, Florida, as one option within our medical weight loss services. Our clinic director, Hans Crevecoeur, APRN-BC, earned his Family Nurse Practitioner degree in 2017 and has experience in family medicine and hospital care. He oversees clinical protocols and patient care at REVAMP, including the review that helps determine whether prescription treatment is a reasonable fit.
What Is Phentermine + MIC
Phentermine is prescribed to help reduce appetite. Current phentermine prescribing information describes it as a short-term adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet, exercise, and behavioral changes rather than a stand-alone or long-term solution.
At REVAMP, MIC refers to an injection containing methionine, inositol, and choline. Phentermine and the MIC injection are separate parts of the program. Before prescribing, we review your health history, medications, and other factors that can affect safety.
Who May Be Considered for Phentermine?
The phentermine label lists use for adults with an initial body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher when certain weight-related risk factors are present. BMI is only part of the decision. Your medical history, blood pressure, medications, and previous weight management efforts also matter.
Our prescription services include more than one approach, so a visit does not mean phentermine will automatically be recommended.
Safety Information to Know Before Starting
Phentermine is not a good fit for everyone. The prescribing label lists contraindications that include a history of cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, pregnancy, certain agitated states, a history of drug abuse, and use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors within the previous 14 days.
Possible side effects include dry mouth, constipation, dizziness, restlessness, insomnia, palpitations, and increased blood pressure. Tell us about prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and supplements before starting.
The label also states that the safety and effectiveness of combining phentermine with other weight-loss drugs have not been established and that coadministration is not recommended. We do not present Tirzepatide + B12 as something to simply add to phentermine. If another prescription appears better suited to your health history, we can discuss it as a different option.
REVAMP also provides LIPO-B / MIC-B injections as a separate service rather than an automatic part of every prescription plan.
Why Choose REVAMP Wellness Center for Phentermine + MIC in Jacksonville?
Weight management is one of REVAMP’s core areas of care, with prescription services that include several options rather than relying on a single medication for every patient. Clinic Director Hans Crevecoeur, APRN-BC, oversees our clinical protocols and patient care, drawing on his background in family medicine and hospital settings when evaluating health history, medications, lab work, and other factors that can affect treatment decisions.
That medical oversight is especially important with a prescription such as phentermine. Our role is to determine whether it makes sense for you, monitor your response when it is prescribed, and discuss a different weight-management approach when your health history points us in another direction.
