Lomaira is indicated for short-term weight loss in individuals who are overweight or obese, particularly those with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol. It is intended to be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and exercise program.

Lomaira contains phentermine, a sympathomimetic amine that acts as an appetite suppressant. It works by stimulating the central nervous system, increasing heart rate and blood pressure, and reducing hunger signals in the brain to help decrease food intake.

Lomaira is for short-term use only (typically a few weeks) due to the risk of dependence and tolerance. It is contraindicated in patients with cardiovascular disease, hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, and in those with a history of drug abuse. Common side effects may include dry mouth, insomnia, and increased blood pressure. This medication should only be used under medical supervision as part of a comprehensive weight management plan.
