Bontril®
Used in conjunction with a diet plan to reduce weight
(Appetite Suppressant - Oral)
Uses
This medication is used as an appetite suppressant.
Bontril is used in conjunction with an overall diet
plan to reduce weight.
How to take this medication
Bontril is best taken on an empty stomach one hour before
meals. 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 Bontril 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 the medication.
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.
Notes
Appetite suppressants are 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.
Miss 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.
