(Appetite Suppressant - Oral)

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

How to take Phentermine medication
Phentermine 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 Phentermine 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 using Phentermine
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.
