Duromine contains phentermine that is basically cardiac stimulating drugs similar to its parent drug amphetamine . Used as appetite suppressant in obesity but has side effects of increased heart rate sweating nausea etc.it has half life of about 24 to 25 hrs.this means it's concentration will reduce to half in 24 hrs .and in about duration of 4 to 5 half life it will completely get metabolised in body.and it'd effect will finish.i think this will help you.
