Can I Take Phentermine To Help Lose Weight While Suffering From PCOS?
My OB/GYN recently put me on Phentermine to help me lose weight because I have PCOS and I'm already obese and only 19. But the past couple of days I have had intense irritation around my bikini line to the point where I'm even scratching in my sleep. Do these two things have to do with each other?

Hi welcome to HCM.
Itching in the bikini line can be unrelated to the usage of phentermine as drug induced rashes are more generalised involving the whole body.Metformin can be a safer drug alternative to phentermine in the treatment of pcos.This rash can be secondary to undergarment material provoking allergic response.Drugs like loratidine can help to reduce the rash.Consult your doctor for further help,thank you
