Duromine is a controlled drug in Singapore and it is only available when you see a doctor. Even some doctors I know are reluctant to give Duromine due to the side effect. Some claimed that it is effective but the side-effect is adverse. Read more about it here before popping it.

What Duromine is used for

Duromine is used to reduce body weight in obese or overweight patients. Your doctor will determine if you are overweight enough to use Duromine. Duromine works by directly affecting the area of the brain that controls your appetite making you feel less hungry. Normally in Singapore, Doctor will first check your BMI before prescribing it you. If you are those that is not fat but just want to be model thin, most doctor will be reluctant.

Duromine should be used as a part of an overall weight management plan which should include a medically controlled diet and exercise program.



When you must not use Duromine


It is important to discuss with the doctor honestly about your medical condition. If you have any of the following medical conditions:

• very high blood pressure;
• high blood pressure in the lung;
• problems with the valves in your heart
• disease related to blood vessels in the brain;
• severe heart disease including changes in the rhythm or rate of the heart beat;
• narrowing of the blood vessels due to thickening or hardening of the blood vessel wall;
• overactive thyroid gland;

Side Effects

All medicines can have side effects and this may occur with the normal use of Duromine.

Side Effects include sudden or rapid weight loss, difficulty breathing, chest pain, fainting, swelling of the lower limbs and if you can not exercise as much as you usually can.

Duromine may make you feel more awake than usual. You may have trouble sleeping.

Duromine can have some effects on the heart. You may notice your heart seems to beat faster and harder, and your blood pressure may be raised slightly.

Other side effects you may notice include irregular heart beats, chest pain, feeling restless, feelings of extreme happiness followed by depression and tiredness, nervousness, tremor (shaking), headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or constipation, stomach cramps, dry mouth or an unpleasant taste in your mouth, difficulty passing urine, skin rashes, impotence and changes in sexual drive, swelling of the face.

So before taking Duromine, do consider all these side-effect.

MOH now regulates the sale of phentermine (i.e. duromine, panbesy, ionsmin, etc). GPs can only prescribe these to people who are severly overweight, i.e. BMI > 25.

Unfortunately not all GP adhere to this.

Lately, I went to a clinic for Carboxy Therapy. Before the treatment I was told I will be administer by the doctor. End of the day, it was conducted by their "trained" nurse. I was really disappointed so I went only 2 out of 8 sessions that I signed up for.

These "unlawful" doctor that are totally unethical.

I took Duromine one year ago

After taking it, I felt terrible, I can't sleep well at nights and in the day I was feeling tired. I am always full so I dun eat alot as well.

I managed to lose 5 kg within a month, I think it is effective but the experience is horrible.

I dun think I will take it again.

I heard that Duromine is the most effective slimming pill for anyone if they want to lose want weight but most endure the side effect lah

Yes I agreed with you compared to the milder Panbesy, Duromine is strong and works.

I like to find out if Doctor prescribe Duromine to me if my BMI is normal?

Where can I get to buy Duromine in Singapore?

You can find duromine at most clinic.
