Adipex-P

Adipex (phentermine) is a highly-efficient medicine intended for the treatment of obesity in patients with certain other medical conditions, such as obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. If you recently used a MAO inhibitor – make sure your health care provider is aware of this fact. Combination of a MAO inhibitor and Adipex can be fatal. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have taken any of the following MAO inhibitors in the past 2 weeks: rasagiline, isocarboxazid, selegiline, tranylcypromine, or phenelzine. Tell your health care provider about any other medications you are taking or are going to take in the nearest future. Interactions have been reported between Adipex and the following ones: fluvoxamine, clomipramine, desipramine, high blood pressure medications, trimipramine, doxepin, paroxetine, nortriptyline, imipramine, oral insulin or diabetes medications, citalopram, amitriptyline, fluoxetine, escitalopram, sertraline, amoxapine, and protriptyline. Tell your health care provider about any medical conditions you have that may affect the dose you are prescribed, such as arteriosclerosis, a history of drug abuse, diabetes, glaucoma, high blood pressure, heart disease, or hyperthyroidism. If you have diabetes it’s especially important to let your doctor know about it, as you may need a higher dose of insulin. It is not known for sure whether this medicine can cause harm to an unborn or nursing baby. Make sure you always discuss your pregnancy or breastfeeding with your health care provider. Never exceed the dose of phentermine you have been prescribed, as an overdose is possible. Seek emergency medical help if you think you may have taken too much of Adipex and experience such symptoms as irregular heartbeat, aggressiveness, seizure, hallucinations, stomach pain, nausea, hallucinations, tremors, diarrhea, fainting, confusion, vomiting, rapid breathing, restlessness, confusion, or light-headedness. Call your health care provider if you develop serious side effects of Adipex, as they are unlikely to go away on their own. The following ones are considered to be serious enough to be reported: high blood pressure, rapid weight gain, unusual thoughts or behavior, chest pain, swelling, buzzing in the ears, confusion, uneven heartbeats, seizure, blurred vision, fast heartbeat, and shortness of breath. In most cases, however, patients using Adipex report only a few mild side effects, such as nervousness, feeling anxious, itching, constipation, headache, trouble sleeping, diarrhea, unpleasant taste in your mouth, dry mouth, dizziness, and tremors. These are likely to appear at the beginning of your treatment and are not supposed to be reported to your doctor unless they change in intensity or get bothersome. Do not share your medicine with other people to whom it was not prescribed, as they can have reactions that you are unable to foresee. Store this drug in some place where it will not be accessed by small children and other people.
