Uses of Phentermine

This medication is used as an appetite suppressant. It is used in conjunction with an overall diet plan to reduce weight.

How to take Phentermine

This medication is best taken on an empty stomach one-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.

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.

Tell your doctor your complete medical history 

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. Decongestants are commonly found in over-the-counter cough and cold medicine.

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.

If you miss a dose, do not double the next dose. Instead, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule.

Store at room temperature away from sunlight and moisture. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children.
