This formulation combines Chromium 24.876 µg and Phentermine HCl 45 mg in an oral capsule form. The solid dosage form is composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication.

Chromium is an essential trace mineral that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It is often used as a supplement to improve insulin sensitivity and enhance protein, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism. Chromium supplementation may be beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes or those at risk of developing the disease.
Phentermine HCl is a sympathomimetic amine anorectic agent and it is used short-term (a few weeks), as part of a weight reduction regimen for patients with initial body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or higher, who have not responded to appropriate weight reducing regimen (diet and/or exercise) alone. Phentermine HCl works by suppressing the appetite and boosting energy levels, helping patients to lose weight more effectively.
Together, Chromium and Phentermine HCl in this formulation may provide a comprehensive approach to weight management, addressing both metabolic function and appetite control. However, it's important to note that this medication should be used in conjunction with a doctor-approved, reduced-calorie diet, exercise, and behavior change program.
As with any medication, it's important to discuss potential side effects and interactions with your healthcare provider before starting treatment. Common side effects may include dry mouth, unpleasant taste, diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting. If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

The combination of Chromium and Phentermine HCl in an oral capsule formulation is primarily used for weight management. Chromium is a mineral that enhances the action of insulin, a hormone critical to the metabolism and storage of carbohydrate, fat, and protein in the body. Phentermine HCl, on the other hand, is a sympathomimetic amine anorectic agent and it has been found useful in the management of exogenous obesity as a short-term adjunct in a regimen of weight reduction.
However, like all medications, this formulation can interact with other drugs, potentially altering their effects or increasing the risk of adverse reactions. It is important for patients and prescribers to be aware of these potential interactions.
Phentermine HCl can interact with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Using these two drugs together can lead to a hypertensive crisis (a severe increase in blood pressure that can lead to a stroke). Therefore, Phentermine HCl should not be used within 14 days of taking an MAOI.
Phentermine HCl may also interact with certain antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This can increase the risk of a condition called serotonin syndrome, which can be serious and potentially life-threatening. Symptoms of serotonin syndrome can include agitation, restlessness, confusion, rapid heart rate, dilated pupils, loss of muscle coordination, heavy sweating, diarrhea, headache, shivering, and goosebumps.
Chromium may interact with insulin and other medications used for diabetes. It can enhance the effects of these medications, potentially leading to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Symptoms of hypoglycemia can include dizziness, lightheadedness, shakiness, hunger, and irritability. If you are taking insulin or other diabetes medications, your healthcare provider may need to adjust your dose if you are also taking Chromium.
Chromium may also interact with antacids, corticosteroids, H2 blockers (like cimetidine, famotidine, nizatidine, and ranitidine), proton pump inhibitors (like omeprazole, lansoprazole, and pantoprazole), and beta-blockers. These medications can affect the absorption or excretion of chromium, potentially altering its effects.
It's important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking to avoid any potential drug interactions. If you have any questions or concerns about these potential interactions or about the Chromium/Phentermine HCl formulation, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to help.
The Chromium 24.876 µg/Phentermine HCl 45 mg Oral Capsules are a solid dosage form composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This design allows for convenient and easy swallowing, and provides a precise dosage of the active ingredients, Chromium and Phentermine HCl.
Chromium is an essential trace mineral that enhances the action of insulin, a hormone critical to the metabolism and storage of carbohydrate, fat, and protein in the body. In this formulation, Chromium is used to help improve blood sugar control in people with prediabetes, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and high blood sugar due to taking steroids and HIV treatments.
Phentermine HCl, on the other hand, is a sympathomimetic amine anorectic agent and it has been used short-term (a few weeks), as part of a weight reduction strategy that includes a balanced diet and exercise. It is thought to work by decreasing your appetite, increasing the amount of energy used by your body, or by affecting certain parts of the brain. This medication is an appetite suppressant and belongs to a class of drugs called sympathomimetic amines.
When combined, these two active ingredients work together to help manage weight in overweight or obese patients with certain health risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. The Chromium helps to regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, while the Phentermine HCl works to suppress appetite and increase energy expenditure. This dual action can help patients to reduce their caloric intake and increase their physical activity, leading to weight loss and improved metabolic health.
It's important to note that this medication should be used in conjunction with a doctor-approved, reduced-calorie diet, exercise, and behavior change program. It is not intended for long-term use, and patients should be closely monitored by their healthcare provider while taking this medication.
