are there different doses of the 37.5 pill? My husband was asking me about the pill and wanted to know since he weighs more, if it's ok to take the same pill I'm taking or if the pharmacy would prescribe the 37.5 pill but maybe a higher dose?
He couldnt take 1 1/2 of mine, right???

The 37.5mg IS the dosage. It's 37.5 millegrams.
And NO, he shouldn't take one and a half of yours. No matter what your weight is 37.5 should work for you. Trust me on this...I started out at almost 300lbs. Of course I'm not happy about that tidbit of info, but...
The 37.5 will work fine for your husband, but it should only be one 37.5 tablet a day.

This might be a good question to ask your doctor. Has your hubby made an appointment?? I would suggest that every first-time user see a doctor first and discuss diet meds before just jumping on the internet to order a prescription medication. I only say this for the sake of his health. Remember, just because this drug can easily be purchased online does NOT mean it is safe to just start taking blindly. You are here asking normal, everyday people for advice about prescription drugs - probably not a very good idea, phen forum or not, it is still the "internet". :eek:

Please be careful!!!!

Oh, and the "pharmacy" won't "prescribe" anything....a licensed physician is the one who is supposed to be doing the prescribing. The pharmacy simply fills the order as written by the physician.
