Uses This medication is

How to take this

half-hour before breakfast. 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.
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.
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.
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.

substitute for proper diet. For maximum effects, this must be used in
conjunction with a diet and exercise program. Do not share this medication
