Slemine Tablet (Phentermine Hydrochloride)

Adult dose

Adults: Administer 37.5 mg of phentermine hydrochloride orally once daily, before breakfast or 1 to 2 hours after breakfast. Use the minimum effective dose and adjust 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 medication late at night because it may cause insomnia. This medication should be administered for a short period (within 4 weeks). However, to reduce the risk of inappropriate use, treatment 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 considered satisfactory by both the physician and the patient).

This medication should not be used in conjunction with other appetite suppressants and should be used alone for a short duration. During the course of treatment with this medication, initial symptoms of serious cardiovascular diseases such as primary pulmonary hypertension should be carefully monitored. If symptoms such as shortness of breath, angina, fainting, or lower limb edema occur, it is necessary to notify a physician immediately and discontinue the medication. Long-term or high-dose use should be avoided due to the potential risk related to heart valve disease. Individuals with certain conditions such as arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, severe hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, or hyperthyroidism should not take this medication. Patients with glaucoma or those who are mentally agitated or excited should also refrain from using this medication. Children under 16 years of age and pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should not take this medication. Diabetic patients may need to adjust their insulin dosage when taking this medication, thus caution is advised. This medication can cause serious central nervous system and cardiovascular adverse effects in case of overdose, so prescribed dosages must be strictly followed.
