conjunction with an overall diet plan to reduce weight.
How To Take This Medication:
This medication is best taken on an empty stomach one hour before
meals. Sustained-release or long acting products must be swallowed
whole. Crushing or chewing them will destroy the long action and
may cause increased side effects. Because this medication may cause
sleeplessness, avoid taking a dose late in the day. Take this medication
as prescribed. Do not take it more often or longer than directed.
It is usually taken for 8 to 12 weeks. Use in combination with other
appetite suppressant medicine is generally not recommended. Consult
your doctor before such use.
Side Effects
Blurred vision, dizziness, 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. Notify your doctor if you experience
chest pain, nervousness, pounding heart, difficulty urinating, mood
changes, breathing difficulties or swelling while taking this medication.
If this medication makes you dizzy or lightheaded, avoid driving
or engaging in activities requiring alertness.
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. This medication can be habit
forming and must be used with caution. Alcohol can increase unwanted
side effects of dizziness. Limit alcohol use. This drug is not recommended
for use in children. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for further
information.
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. NOTES: Appetite suppressants are not a substitute
for proper diet. For maximum effects, this must be used in conjunction
with a diet and exercise program. Do not share this medication with
others.
