razin

Q: What is the recommended dosage?

The standard recommended dosage of Razin is one capsule per day, containing 15 mg of Phentermine. A higher dosage may be prescribed upon submission of a 29C form.

Q: When should the medication be taken?

Razin should be taken either before breakfast or two hours after breakfast.

Q: What are the common side effects of Razin?

As with any medication, Razin treatment may have side effects, though most are mild and tend to subside within a few days to weeks. Common side effects include increased alertness, restlessness, tension, insomnia, dry mouth, headaches, dizziness, diarrhea or constipation, elevated blood pressure, and increased heart rate. Other possible side effects may include confusion, tremors, mood changes, depression, sore throat, fever, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps. It's important to remember that your healthcare provider, particularly if specialized in obesity treatment, can offer guidance on significantly reducing or even preventing these side effects. Real-time adjustments of your medication dosage and careful monitoring when combining Razin with other medications can greatly enhance treatment adherence and significantly reduce the rate of patients discontinuing treatment.

Q: What are the rare side effects of Razin?

Rare side effects may include primary pulmonary hypertension or heart valve disease, especially when the active ingredient phentermine is combined with other appetite-suppressing medications.

Q: Who should avoid treatment with Razin, and who should exercise caution during treatment?

Razin should not be taken by individuals with glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, severe heart conditions (such as heart valve defects, heart murmurs, or certain types of arrhythmias), moderate-to-severe hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, or by those currently taking antidepressant medications from the MAO inhibitor group.

Q: How much does Razin cost, and is it covered by the national healthcare system?

The price of Razin is ₪246.89 for a pack of 30 capsules. Razin is not included in the Israeli national healthcare basket; however, you can check whether it is included in the internal healthcare packages of specific health maintenance organizations (HMOs). If so, it may be possible to purchase it at a discounted price. In other HMOs, Razin can typically be purchased at a reduced price through supplementary insurance plans.

It's Not Just About Willpower. It's About Science!

Studies Show:

Patients taking Razin along with dietary changes lost approximately one kilogram per week.

Patients taking Razin for 12 weeks experienced a reduction in body weight.

% 0

Patients taking Razin for 28 weeks lost kilograms of body weight.

How does Razin affect the body?

The active ingredient in Razin, Phentermine, acts similarly to amphetamines by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system. It triggers the release of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine in the brain, which increases levels of the hormone leptin. Leptin helps suppress appetite and enhances feelings of fullness after meals.

What studies have examined Razin?

In randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, short-term studies \[1], Razin was found to contribute to a weight loss of more than 0.5 kg per week when combined with a weight-loss diet. Additional studies demonstrated Razin’s effectiveness with participants achieving an average weight loss of approximately 5% of their body weight. When taken for periods longer than 12 weeks, Razin contributed to weight reductions of up to 10% of total body weight \[2].

An analysis of results from six clinical studies revealed that participants taking Razin for an average of 13 weeks experienced a mean weight loss of 6.3 kg, compared to an average of 2.8 kg lost by participants in the placebo group (diet alone) \[3]. Similarly, in a 28-week study, participants taking Razin lost an average of 6 kg, compared to just 1.5 kg lost by the placebo group relying solely on dietary changes \[4].

The Multidisciplinary Approach to Obesity Treatment

The most effective method for weight loss through medication is a personalized treatment plan, supported and monitored by a multidisciplinary team of experts.

Various clinical studies \[4,5] conducted in recent years have shown that the most successful approach to weight loss combines individually tailored medications at adjustable dosages, including medication combinations, with medical supervision and ongoing nutritional follow-up by a clinical dietitian within a structured treatment framework. This process significantly improves patient adherence and supports long-term weight maintenance.

The Obesity Treatment Center offers a comprehensive multidisciplinary weight loss program combined with medication-based treatment. This program includes:

These assessments are performed using advanced technology based on bioelectrical impedance. Each patient undergoes a thorough questionnaire to assess their physical and emotional condition, medical history, underlying health issues, and ongoing medication use, in order to create a fully personalized treatment plan.

The Obesity Treatment Center offers 24/7 availability for immediate support. Patients are encouraged to directly contact the center at any time with questions, concerns, or side effects. Immediate responses and guidance are provided without delay. Patients can also monitor their personal treatment progress using a dedicated app. The app provides continuous real-time updates regarding each patient's individual status.

Reducing Side Effects

Click to Read More

Any medication may cause side effects alongside its therapeutic benefits. Many patients have previously tried medication-based weight loss treatments but discontinued due to unmanaged side effects. At the Obesity Treatment Center, we emphasize precise medication dosing tailored to each patient, alongside nutritional adjustments and ongoing monitoring. Clinical experience shows that dynamically adjusting medication doses as needed and ensuring proper drug combinations can prevent or minimize side effects. Additionally, the center provides 24/7 availability to promptly address any side effects in real-time.

Continuity of Care

Click to Read More

As with any medical treatment, weight loss through medication must be carried out consistently as part of a routine. One of the main challenges in this area is patient adherence and their ability to persist with treatment, including medication-based weight loss. Close follow-up at the Obesity Treatment Center, combined with personalized support, side-effect monitoring, and emotional guidance, greatly increases each patient's adherence and significantly reduces dropout rates.

Personally Guided Nutritional Program

Click to Read More

Patients at the center receive ongoing guidance, treatment, and support from a clinical dietitian, with a personalized nutritional plan that addresses all aspects of the patient’s lifestyle, without restricting favorite foods. Moreover, dietary treatment isn't just about a meal plan; at our center, we emphasize not only what to eat but also how to eat. We provide patients with practical behavioral tools to optimally adjust to their medication treatment, helping them reconnect with their natural hunger and fullness signals. This approach keeps the body satisfied and calm throughout the process, enabling significant and lasting weight loss.

Lifestyle Habits

Click to Read More

Many patients come to us frustrated and discouraged from previous failed attempts. Some arrive feeling hopeless, doubting their ability to maintain results, no matter how successful the treatment was. That's exactly where we step in. We focus on providing practical lifestyle tools to help you maintain a healthy weight, even after completing treatment at the clinic. Treatment at the Obesity Medical Center is your first step toward a healthier life and lasting weight management.
