Ready Pen Tablet (Phentermine Hydrochloride)

Adult dose

Adults: Administer 37.5 mg of phentermine hydrochloride orally once daily before breakfast or 1 ～ 2 hours after breakfast. Use the minimum effective dose, adjusting it individually to achieve an adequate response. A dose of 18.75 mg once daily may be appropriate for some patients, and in some cases, taking 18.75 mg twice daily may be preferable. Avoid taking this medicine late at night because it may cause insomnia. This medicine should be administered for a short period (no more than 4 weeks). However, to reduce the risk of inappropriate use, treatment with this medicine may be continued if the patient achieves satisfactory weight loss within the first 4 weeks (weight loss of at least 1.8 kg, or weight loss judged satisfactory by both the physician and the patient).

This medication must not be used in conjunction with other appetite suppressants and should only be used alone for a short period. During treatment, early symptoms of a serious lung condition called primary pulmonary hypertension should be monitored carefully, and if symptoms such as shortness of breath or heart-related issues occur, a doctor should be notified immediately. There may be potential risks related to heart valve disease, so prolonged high-dose use or combining with other appetite suppressants should be avoided. People with specific conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, psychiatric disorders, or a history of substance abuse should not take this medication. Patients with diabetes may need to adjust their insulin dosage while taking this medication, and those with mild hypertension should use it with caution. In case of overdose, severe central nervous system symptoms and cardiovascular abnormalities may occur, so start with the minimum dose and do not increase the dose arbitrarily. This medication can cause central nervous system side effects such as anxiety, insomnia, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, diarrhea, constipation, and other gastrointestinal disturbances, as well as sexual side effects such as erectile dysfunction and changes in sexual drive. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should use this medication cautiously as it may pose risks to the fetus, and breastfeeding women should be cautious as well. Children under 16 years old should not use this medication as its safety and efficacy in this age group have not been established. This medication may have increased side effects when taken with alcohol, so alcohol consumption should be avoided. This medication is highly addictive, and prolonged use can lead to psychological dependence and social functionality impairment. Store in a safe place out of the reach of children, and consult a doctor immediately if any unusual symptoms occur during use.
