Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the change in weight and heart rate associated with the use of phentermine through meta-analysis based on the published literatures.
Methods: Eight electronic databases, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and five domestic databases were used to search the literature. Randomized controlled trials that evaluated the change in weight and heart rate with the use of phentermine compared with placebo were included in this study. The fixed-effect model weighted by the Mantel?Haenszel method was used in the meta-analysis, and the random-effects model was used when heterogeneity was present.
Results: We included 12 studies comprising 677 patients. The change in weight observed with the use of phentermine (SMD=-1.37, 95% CI: -1.55, -1.19) was statistically significant compared with that observed with placebo. As per the subgroup analysis results, the change in weight by publication year, country, phentermine dosage, follow-up check was not heterogeneous. The change in heart rate observed with the use of phentermine (SMD=0.64, 95% CI: 0.35, 0.92) was significant compared with that observed with placebo.
Conclusions: Weight loss and increased heart rate were confirmed in phentermine compared with placebo.
