Phentermine

Phentermine can be used by patients that are obese (have a lot of excessive weight that threatens their general health and wellbeing). However, this medicine is not going to be efficient if you take it alone, without following a certain dieting plan and exercising routine. Make sure you follow all the directions of your health care provider and take as much of phentermine as prescribed without exceeding the dose recommended. Some other drugs you are taking may cause interactions with phentermine and your doctor will need to know about any of the following: guanadrel, paroxetine, amitriptyline, citalopram, fluvoxamine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, amoxapine, clomipramine, sertraline, medicines to treat high blood pressure, oral diabetes medications, desipramine, imipramine, guanethidine, insulin, or trimipramine. Although phentermine is well tolerated by most patients taking it, it’s very important to watch for any side effects that are still possible. Such mild side effects as feeling nervous or anxious, constipation, headache, insomnia, dry mouth, itching, diarrhea, or dizziness are common but also tend to go away on their own without any need for you to report them to your health care provider. More serious side effects include heart palpitations, restlessness, chest pain, tremor, shortness of breath, dizziness, swelling of the legs and ankles, insomnia, dizziness, and high blood pressure.
