Phentermine

Phentermine is an anti-obesity agent specially intended for the treatment of obesity in people also diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. The dose you will be prescribed may depend on a number of factors that are individual for every person. Therefore, you may not share your medication with other people to whom it was not prescribed. This can be associated with dangerous health effects in those people. Tell your health care professional if you have any particular medical conditions before using phentermine. The following ones have been reported to interfere with the treatment and your doctor needs to know about them: a history of drug abuse, arteriosclerosis, glaucoma, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, or heart disease. If you have any of the conditions mentioned, you may need a lower dose of this medication, or your health care provider will need to monitor you for any side effects possible. Do not combine phentermine with other medications without your doctor consent. If you are taking or need to be taking antidepressants, oral insulin or diabetes medications, guanadrel, or high blood pressure meds, talk to your doctor about the safety of combining them with phentermine. Serious side effects, such as heart palpitations, restlessness, shortness of breath, insomnia, increased blood pressure, chest pain, dizziness, tremor, dizziness, and swelling of the legs and ankles need to be reported to your doctor as soon as you get them. Less serious side effects are a lot more likely. They can include the following ones: dry mouth, vomiting, unpleasant taste, diarrhea, and constipation. The mild side effects mentioned need to be reported to your health care provider only if they change in intensity or become bothersome. In most cases, however, they are likely to go away on their own. An overdose of phentermine can be avoided if you take this drug as prescribed. Seek emergency medical help if you have taken too much of this drug and experience such symptoms as rapid breathing, diarrhea, hallucinations, stomach pain, vomiting, tremors, restlessness, confusion, aggressiveness, fainting, hallucinations, seizure, light-headedness, nausea, confusion, or irregular heartbeat.
