What is Phenterprin
Phenterprin HCL is an appetite suppressant
used along with diet, exercise, and behavior therapy for the
short-term management of obesity.
How to Take Phenterprin
Swallow Phenterprin whole. Do not break,
crush, or chew before swallowing. Take one capsule (usual
recommended dose) in the morning with breakfast. Be sure you
take your dose at least 10 to 12 hours before bedtime. Store
Phenterprin at room temperature in a tightly-closed container,
away from heat and light. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as
possible. If it is after noon, skip the missed dose and go back
to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Phenterprin Side Effects
Side effects that may occur while taking
Phenterprin HCL include restlessness, nervousness, difficulty
sleeping, or dry mouth. If they continue or are bothersome,
check with your doctor. If you notice other effects not listed
above, contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
Phenterprin Precautions
WARNING: Do not take Phenterprin if pregnant
or nursing. Not for use by persons under age 18. If you have any
medical condition or are taking any medication consult a medical
professional prior to use. The recommended serving of
Phenterprin contains about as much caffeine as 2 cups of coffee
(in excess of 200mg of caffeine per serving). Limit the use of
caffeine containing medications, foods or beverages while taking
Phenterprin because too much caffeine may cause nervousness,
sleeplessness and occasionally rapid heart beat. Phenterprin
also contains Yohimbe. Do not use if you are at risk or are
being treated for high blood pressure, kidney, thyroid, or
psychiatric disease, anxiety, depression, seizure disorder or
stroke. Consult your physician before use if you are taking MAO
inhibitors or any other prescription medication.
Before Using Phenterprin
Certain supplements or medications may
interact with Phenterprin. Inform your doctor or pharmacist of
all prescription and over-the-counter product that you are
taking. Do not use if you are also taking guanadrel,
guanethidine, furazolidone, fenfluramine, dexfenfluramine, or
monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Inform your doctor of any
other medical conditions, allergies, pregnancy, or
breast-feeding. Use of Phenterprin is not recommended if you
have a history of heart conditions, brain or spinal cord
disorders, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, glaucoma, or
hyperthyroidism. Contact your doctor or pharmacist if you have
any questions or concerns about using Phenterprin.
Phenterprin Notes
Appetite suppressants are not a substitute
for proper diet. For maximum effects, this should be used in
conjunction with a diet and exercise(5) program.
