A medical doctor just prescribed my friend Phentermine to help her lose weight. Can you tell me more about this, and how is it different than the Fen/Phen that was in the news so much due it's dangerous adverse effects?

Phentermine is known to decrease the appetite. I am not very sure but it probably suppresses the appetite by acting on centers in the brain that control appetite. It is in combination with exercise and diet for the short-term treatment of obesity in individuals with a body mass index greater than or equal to 30 kg/m2 or greater than or equal to 27 kg/m2. It does have a risk factor for heart disease.
Its scary (i think) that phentermine is actually FDA approved. I've been looking at a variety of weight loss phentermine products such as Adipex and Bontril, and the side effects are terrible due phentermine being such an un-natural method of weight loss.
I'd agree with the person who suggested the natural weight loss method- there are a lot of safe, over the counter natural weight loss pills now available. Weight loss phentermine might be FDA approved but although there are a wide selection of phen tablets (all with different names) the side effects are pretty consistent whichever phentermine pill you take!
