For how long can Phentermine be used to 'jump start' a diet?

  1. 6 weeks

  2. 12 weeks

  3. 18 weeks

  4. 24 weeks

The correct answer is: 12 weeks

Phentermine is a medication commonly prescribed for short-term use to treat obesity. It works as an appetite suppressant and is not recommended for long-term use due to potential risks and side effects. While it may be used to "jump start" a diet, the recommended maximum duration of treatment is generally 12 weeks. This allows for healthy weight loss and minimizes the potential for adverse effects. Options A, C, and D all suggest longer duration of use beyond the recommended 12 weeks, which could be potentially harmful to an individual's health. Therefore, B 12 weeks is the correct answer.
