Adults: Administer 37.5 mg of phentermine hydrochloride orally once daily, before breakfast or 1 ～ 2 hours after breakfast. Use the lowest effective dose, adjusting the dose individually to achieve an adequate response. A dose of 18.75 mg once daily may be appropriate for some patients, while in some cases it may be preferable to take 18.75 mg twice daily. Avoid taking this medicine late at night because it may cause insomnia. This medicine should be administered for a short term (within 4 weeks).

This medication should not be used in conjunction with other appetite suppressants and should only be used alone for a short period. During the use of this medication, symptoms such as dyspnea, angina pectoris, fainting, and leg swelling, which are early signs of a serious lung condition called primary pulmonary hypertension, may occur; inform your doctor immediately if symptoms appear. There may be a risk associated with heart valve diseases, so the long-term use of high doses or combination with other appetite suppressants should be avoided.
