What happened to Ionamin

[Maggie]

Wasn't their a diet drug called Ionamin? It was like a yellow capsule I think. Does it still exist?

[Tiff]

Hmmm, haven't heard that name in a while. I think it's not sold in the US but may be available in other markets, if what you're referring to is that slow release phentermine pill thing.

Ionamin was a phentermine resin complex. The brand name Ionamin doesn't exist anymore. There may still be generic versions of it, but typically it's not prescribed in the US anymore.

I didn't even know there were other types of brand name phentermine beyond Adipex-P LOL. What in the heck is a resin complex???

It's a type of phentmerine pill that functions in a sustained release form. So when you take it, it slowly releases the drug in your body instead of dissolving all at once like other forms of the drug.

Okay, Thanks!

Me neither! How many different types of Phentermine are there?

A lot. But honestly, that doesn't matter. If you're in the US, the only ones that apply to you are phentermine (generic name drug) and Adipex-P (prescription brand name phentermine drug). There is also Qsymia which is made up of two drugs, one of them being phentermine and the other topiramate. Other than that, I don't think there are any other FDA approved drugs for weight loss that are either phentermine-based or that include this drug.
