Adipex Uses:
Adipex is used as an appetite suppressant. It is used in conjunction
with an overall diet plan to reduce weight.
How to Use Adipex:
This medication is best taken on an empty stomach one hour before meals.
Because this medication may cause sleeplessness, avoid taking a dose
late in the day. Take this medication as prescribed. Do not take Adipex
more often or longer than directed.
Adipex Side Effects:
Dry mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset or constipation
may occur the first few days as your body adjusts to the medication. If
these effects persist or become bothersome, inform your doctor.
Adipex Precautions:
Tell your doctor your complete medical history especially if you have
high blood pressure, an over-active thyroid, glaucoma, diabetes or
emotional problems. Consult with your doctor if you think you are

effects of dizziness. Limit alcohol use. Adipex is not recommended for
use in children. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for further
information.

"stimulant" drugs that may increase your heart rate such as
decongestants or caffeine. Decongestants are commonly found in
over-the-counter cough and cold medicine.
