Phentermine is one of a class of drugs known as Sympathomimetic Appetite Suppressants. Also called Adipex, it is used in the short-term treatment of obesity. The appetite-reducing effect of Phentermine tends to decrease after a few weeks, and these medicines are useful only during the first few weeks of a weight-loss program.
Be sure to tell your doctor of any allergies you have whether it is to medication or food, preservatives, or dyes. Tell your doctor immediately if you are, or become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Also, tell your doctor of any other medications you are taking, including vitamins and supplements, and any medical conditions you may have.
It is very important that you take this medicine exactly as your doctor tells you to. Do not take more medicine than directed.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do NOT double doses. Take the last dose 4 to 6 hours before bedtime to avoid sleep problems.
Be aware that taking a Sympathomimetic Appetite Suppressant may cause a positive result in urine screening tests for amphetamines.
Phentermine may cause dryness of the mouth, a false sense of well-being, dizziness, or may cause you to be drowsy, or less alert than normal. Check with your doctor immediately if you notice a decrease in your ability to exercise, if you faint, or if you have chest pain, swelling of your feet or lower legs, or trouble in breathing. These may be symptoms of very serious problems.
