Does Smoking Hamper The Effectiveness Of Duromine?

Does smoking while taking a prescribed course of Duromine stop the drugs from helping you lose weight? I ve been on Duromine for 6 weeks now and in the first month I had great results but I started smoking again in the last 2-3 weeks and I ve noticed it s becoming a lot harder for me to lose weight. I m 20 years old, I m 5 foot 3 and I currently weight 99.8kg.

Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. Duromine and smoking do not go together. Please stop the usage of duromine an consult a psychiatrist who can help advise you different ways to quit smoking as well as weight loss. It may be hard to do so but please consider this as your health call and it may be lethal to use the medication duromine for weight loss. There are many healthy ways to lose weight and duromine is certainly not among them.

I hope this helps. Take good care of yourself and have a lovely day!
