Possible uses of Adipex
Adipex is used as an appetite suppressant.
Adipex is used in conjunction with an overall diet plan to reduce weight.
How to take Adipex
Take Adipex on an empty stomach, once
daily, 30-60 minutes before breakfast. The Adipex tablet may be broken
or cut in half. Do not crush or chew tablet. Because Adipex may cause sleeplessness,
avoid taking a dose late in the day. Take Adipex as prescribed. Do not
take it more often or longer than directed.
Side Effects of Adipex
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.
Precautions for Adipex
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. Adipex is not recommended
for use in children. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for further information.
Drug Interactions with Adipex
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 or blood pressure such as decongestants
or caffeine. Decongestants are commonly found in over-the-counter cough
and cold medicine.
Missed Dose of Adipex
If you miss a dose of Adipex, do not
double the next dose. Instead, skip the missed Adipex dose and resume your
usual dosing schedule.
Storage of Adipex
Store Adipex at room temperature away
from sunlight and moisture. Keep Adipex and all medications out of the
reach of children.
Notes for Adipex
Adipex appetite suppressants are not
a substitute for proper diet. For maximum effects, Adipex must be used
in conjunction with a diet and exercise program. Do not share Adipex with
others.
