Acxion is a prescription weight loss medication containing the active ingredient phentermine. It is an appetite suppressant used to help adults who are overweight or obese lose weight by reducing hunger and helping control cravings.

How Does Acxion Work?

Acxion stimulates the central nervous system, which increases heart rate and blood pressure, leading to decreased appetite. This helps patients eat less and supports weight loss when combined with a calorie-controlled diet and regular exercise.
