Suprenza
Suprenza® is a new diet pill base launched in 2012 by Akrimax Pharmaceuticals, a New Jersey based company. Suprenza® is an orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) which is a true innovation in the world of phentermine diet pills.
Suprenza is more convenient.
Suprenza® is a peppermint flavored orally disintegrating tablet that dissolves on your tongue, and can be swallowed with or without water. Because it dissolves on your tongue easily and can be taken without water, it is more convenient than other phentermine tablets and can be taken any time, after, before or during your meal. You must just make sure to avoid taking Suprenza at night if you want to sleep well. Other Phentermine forms must be taken one or 2 hours before your meals.

How does Suprenza work?
Suprenza is an appetite suppressant and like all phentermine diet pills, Suprenza works by affecting parts of the central nervous system which effectively suppress the feeling of hunger. Because it is chemically close to amphetamines, Suprenza increases levels of energy within patients, which can be expended through exercise.
Suprenza is designed to be used in combination with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Because Phentermine Hydrochloride can be habit forming, Suprenza can only be prescribed for a short period of time, usually a few weeks. A change in eating habits and exercising are essential to maintain the weight loss results.
Suprenza is a prescription drug.
Suprenza is classed as a controlled substance (Class IV) with the US and is only available on prescription. It is not available in the European Union.
