Short-term adjunctive treatment for weight loss in exogenous obesity
This medication is used for obese patients who have not responded adequately to appropriate dietary or exercise therapies. For example, it is applicable to patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or higher, or those with a BMI of 27 kg/m² or higher who have risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, or dyslipidemia. It is effective as a short-term adjunct to weight loss methods including exercise, behavioral modification, and calorie restriction. This drug must be administered alone without the use of other appetite suppressants, allowing for safe management. It helps evaluate the patient's health status based on BMI and to establish an appropriate treatment plan. Therefore, this medication is used to improve health issues related to weight loss.
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. Diabetic patients may need to adjust their insulin dosage while taking this medication, and those with mild hypertension should also use it cautiously. This medication may cause side effects such as arrhythmias, anxiety, dizziness, insomnia, headache, dry mouth, diarrhea, constipation, urticaria, erectile dysfunction, changes in sexual desire, among others. 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. Store this medication out of reach of children in a safe place.
