What Is Adipex?
Adipex-P is a stimulant that suppresses appetite, helping
people who have not been able to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. It
is designed for short-term use (a few weeks) as part of a weight loss regimen.
It is mostly prescribed for people with a BMI of 30 or more,
and other risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, elevated
cholesterol. Losing weight will help to
relieve these conditions.
When Should You Take Adipex?
Because of its stimulating effects, you should not take it
at the same time as other medications that are stimulative such as
benzphetamine, mazindol, diethylpropion and phendimetrazine. Do not use this
medicine if you also take an MAO inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid, selegiline,
phenelzine or tranylcypromine, or if you have used an MAOI within the past 14
days. Using these medications together may cause serious side effects.
Do not take Adipex if you have ....
Do not take it if you have anxiety, glaucoma, hypertension,
hyperthyroidism, coronary heart disease, kidney disease, or history of stroke.
Adipex-P (phentermine hydrochloride) is related chemically and
pharmacologically to amphetamines, and addiction behaviors have occurred while
taking it like most of the weight loss pills. Keep an eye out for signs, and talk to your doctor if you have any
questions.
Be sure you take Adipex-P exactly as directed. Some people
experience thirst during the first few weeks that they take it, but then it
stops. You may also experience restlessness, diarrhea, and changes in sex
drive. Since it can interfere with sleep, take the last dose of the day 4-6
hours before bedtime. Use it as part of your regimen of healthy eating,
behavior modification, and exercise.
