How to take Adipex
Adipex is best taken on an
empty stomach one hour before meals. Because Adipex may cause sleeplessness, avoid taking a dose
late in the day. Take Adipex as prescribed. Do
not take Adipex more often or longer than directed.
Possible 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.
Adipex Precautions
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
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.
Notes
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 Adipex
with others.
Adipex Missed dose
If you miss a
dose of Adipex, do not double the next dose. Instead,
skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing
schedule.
Adipex Storage
Store Adipex at room
temperature away from sunlight and moisture. Keep Adipex
and all medications out of the reach of
children.
