Possible uses of this
medication
Bontril is used as an appetite
suppressant. It is used in conjunction with an overall diet plan to reduce
weight.
How to take this medication
Take on an empty stomach,
once daily, 30-60 minutes before breakfast. Sustained-release or long acting
products must be swallowed whole. Crushing or chewing them will destroy
the long action and may cause increased side effects. Because this medication
may cause sleeplessness, avoid taking a dose late in the day. Take this
medication as prescribed. Do not take it more often or longer than directed.
It is usually taken for 8 to 12 weeks. Use in combination with other appetite
suppressant medicine is generally not recommended. Consult your doctor
before such use.
Side Effects
Blurred vision, dizziness,
dry mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset or constipation may
occur the first few days as your body adjusts to Bontril. If these effects
persist or become bothersome, inform your doctor. Notify your doctor if
you experience chest pain, nervousness, pounding heart, difficulty urinating,
mood changes, breathing difficulties or swelling while taking this medication.
If this medication makes you dizzy or lightheaded, avoid driving or engaging
in activities requiring alertness.
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. This medication
can be habit forming and must be used with caution. Alcohol can increase
unwanted side effects of dizziness. Limit alcohol use. This drug 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.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, do not
double the next dose. Instead, skip the missed dose and resume your usual
dosing schedule.
Storage
Store at room temperature
away from sunlight and moisture. Keep this and all medications out of the
reach of children.
Notes
Bontril is not a substitute
for proper diet. For maximum effects, this must be used in conjunction
with a diet and exercise program. Do not share this medication with others.
