How Long Does Phentermine Stay In The Body?
I am having a blood test taken by my doctor in a few weeks to check the levels of a medication I am currently taking. I am also on phetermine not prescribed by that doctor. I d like to know if the phetermine will show up on my blood test. And if so, how long before my test should I stop taking it in order for it not to show up?

Hello,
There are many different kinds of blood tests. Phenteremine would be picked up on the blood test only if it is being looked for.
I would strongly advise you to consult your doctor regarding the use of the same as it does have side effects.
So if your doctor is checking for the levels of a particular drug, phenteremine won't show up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
