(Appetite Suppressant - ORAL)
USES
Bontril is used as an
appetite suppressant in conjunction with an overall diet plan to reduce weight.
HOW TO TAKE THIS
MEDICATION
Take the Bontril weight loss medication 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 it only 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 (Before you Order or Use this Medicine)
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 so its use should be limited.
Bontril is not recommended for use in children. Consult your doctor or
pharmacist for further information.
DRUG INTERACTIONS (With Other Medications)
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.
