Ropet 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 lowest effective dose and adjust it individually to achieve an adequate response. For some patients, 18.75 mg once daily may be appropriate; 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 is for short-term use (within 4 weeks). However, to reduce the risk of inappropriate use of this medicine, treatment may continue 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 only be used alone for a short duration. In particular, it may not be safe to combine with other medications intended for weight loss. When using this drug, if symptoms indicating the onset of serious disorders such as primary pulmonary hypertension, including difficulty breathing, chest pain, syncope, or leg swelling occur, you should consult a physician immediately. If such symptoms occur, cease medication use. Also, this medication may be associated with valvular heart disease, therefore caution is advised with prolonged high doses or when taken with other appetite suppressants. This drug should not be administered to patients with a history of atherosclerosis, heart disease, severe hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, severe anxiety states, or those with a history of drug abuse. It should not be used in pregnant women or those who may become pregnant, or in children under the age of 16.

Start using the minimum effective dose initially, and if tolerance develops do not increase the dose but discontinue use. Since this drug affects the central nervous system, caution is necessary when driving or operating hazardous machinery. The effects may be intensified if taken with alcohol, therefore it should be avoided. If pregnant or breastfeeding, this medication should only be used after consulting a physician as there is a risk of harm to the fetus or infant. In cases of overdose, severe symptoms such as anxiety, coma, seizures, blood pressure changes, or vomiting may occur, necessitating immediate emergency treatment. This medication is classified as a narcotic, indicating a potential for abuse; it should be taken exactly as prescribed by a physician, as long-term use may lead to psychological dependence or serious mental health issues.
