| PhentermineŽ
(Appetite Suppressant - Oral)
Phentermine Uses:
Phentermine is used as an appetite suppressant. It is used in
conjunction with an overall diet plan to reduce weight.
How to take Phentermine:
Phentermine is best taken on an empty stomach one half-hour before
breakfast. Because Phentermine may cause sleeplessness, avoid taking
a dose late in the day. Take Phentermine as prescribed. Do not take
Phentermine more often or longer than directed.
Phentermine side effects:
Dry mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset or constipation
may occur the first few days as your body adjusts to Phentermine. If
these effects persist or become bothersome, inform your doctor.
Phentermine 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
pregnant or before breast-feeding. Alcohol can increase unwanted side
effects of dizziness. Limit alcohol use. Phentermine is not recommended
for use in children. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for further
information.
Phentermine Drug interactions:
Inform your doctor about all the medicines you use, (prescription and
nonprescription) especially if you take high blood pressure medicine or
MAO inhibitors (e.g., furazolidone, phenelzine, selegiline,
tranylcypromine) or any other weight loss medicine. Avoid "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.
Phentermine Notes:
Phentermine is not a substitute for proper diet. For maximum effects,
Phentermine must be used in conjunction with a diet and exercise program. Do
not share Phentermine with others.
Phentermine Miss dose:
If you miss a dose, do not double the next dose. Instead, skip the
missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule.
Phentermine Storage:
Store at room temperature away from sunlight and moisture. Keep
Phentermine and
all medications out of the reach of children. |
