PHENTERMINE - tablet used in the short-term management of obesity.
It comes in various colors - tablet or capsule form in strengths of 15, 30
and 37.5 milligrams.
SO, HOW
DOES
PHENTERMINE WORK?
Drugs of
this class suppress appetite via appetite centers in the brain although
this has not been clearly proven.
HOW DO I
TAKE
PHENTERMINE:
The
medication should be taken on an empty stomach; an hour before breakfast
in the morning. This medication may cause sleeplessness, so avoid
taking a dose late in the day. Take this medication only as
prescribed and do not take it more often or for longer than directed.
Phentermine's use in combination with any other appetite suppressant or
medicine is not recommended.
IS
PHENTERMINE EFFECTIVE ?
PHENTERMINE is an effective therapy for obese patients that need to
lose weight in order to decrease diseases associated with their
significant obesity. The amount of the weight loss depends on the degree
of caloric restriction and the use of an exercise program.
HOW LONG
CAN I USE
PHENTERMINE?
PHENTERMINE is a short-term drug that helps you begin losing
weight then keep on going when you are ready to carry on, on your own.
Your body builds up a resistance to the effects of
PHENTERMINE after a few
weeks of treatment, which is when you should be on your way to a new style
of life and ready to discontinue
PHENTERMINE.
Appetite
suppressants are not a substitute for a proper diet. For best
effects, this must be used with an exercise program and diet.
GENERIC
VS. BRAND NAME DRUGS:
When a
pharmaceutical company develops new drugs, it gives the drug two names.
The first, a generic name representing the chemical structure or chemical
form of the drugs. The generic name of drugs never changes. In this
case the generic name of these drugs we are discussing is
PHENTERMINE. The second name given to drugs is its brand
name. This is the name given to the medicine by the pharmaceutical
corporation and has nothing to do with the chemical form. Brand names of
the drugs we are discussing are
ADIPEX-P and IONAMIN.
They are both similar in that they are composed of
PHENTERMINE, and simply given different names by the company that
manufactures them. No other pharmaceutical company can ever use the
brand name of the medicine at any time.
PHENTERMINE HYDROCHLORIDE (GENERIC NAME) -
ADIPEX-P
& IONAMIN (BRAND
NAMES):
PHENTERMINE is the generic name
for ADIPEX-P and
IONAMIN and comes in immediate
release or time-released formulas. Immediate release pills enter
your blood stream as soon as you take them. Time-released
capsules release their medication into your body over an extended period
of time, usually 8 or 12 hours. There are many popular brand names of
PHENTERMINE. But, all of the above named compounds are considered
clinically equal in producing weight loss.
IONAMIN
IONAMIN is
PHENTERMINE set in resin. The resin simply allows the compound to
be released slowly into the blood stream. Some patients prefer it
because they believe it to be associated with fewer side effects, others,
however, do not. Ionamin is
the only
PHENTERMINE resin on the market. It comes in 30 mg and 15 mg
capsules. The 15 mg capsule is gray and yellow, the 30 mg capsule is all
yellow. The capsule is labeled "IONAMIN".
PHENTERMINE VS. XENICAL:
PHENTERMINE is an appetite suppressant.
XENICAL inhibits fat absorption
into the body. Both may be used in conjunction with each other for those
who are seriously obese.

DRUG
INTERACTIONS:
Inform your
doctor about every medicine 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
diet medicine. Decongestants are found in over-the-counter cough and cold
medicine.
SIDE
EFFECTS:
MILD:
Blurred
vision, dry mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset or
constipation may occur the first few days as your body adjusts to the
medication. More adverse events include central nervous system effects,
gastrointestinal disturbances, and changes in libido. If these
effects persist or become bothersome, you may need to discontinue use.
Use caution when prescribing anti-obesity drugs for patients with
hypertension. If this medication makes you dizzy or lightheaded, avoid
driving or engaging in activities requiring alertness. Alcohol can
increase unwanted side effects of dizziness. Restrict its use.
MODERATE:
Chest pain,
pounding heart, difficulty urinating, breathing difficulties or swelling
while using this medication.
SEVERE:
Primary
pulmonary hypertension (PPH) and cardiac valvular disease have been
reported in patients receiving a combination of phentermine and
fenfluramine (phen-fen) or dexfenfluramine. The possibility of an
association with PPH and the use of
PHENTERMINE cannot be ruled out.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
PHENTERMINE is contraindicated in patients with arteriosclerosis,
cardiovascular disease, or moderate to severe hypertension.
