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, 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, 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 (within 4 weeks). However, to reduce the risk of improper use of this medicine, 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 must be used alone for a short duration. Serious cardiovascular issues, such as primary pulmonary hypertension, can arise during the use of this medication, so if symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, fainting, or leg swelling occur, patients should inform their doctor immediately. Furthermore, this medication may have the potential to be associated with valvular heart disease, so long-term high-dose use or combining it with other appetite suppressants should be avoided. Patients with advanced atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, severe hypertension, hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, a state of mental instability, or a history of substance abuse should not take this medication. Particularly, children under the age of 16 and women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not use this medication. Diabetic patients may need to adjust their insulin dosage while on this medication, and patients with mild hypertension should also use it cautiously. This medication may cause increased heart rate or elevated blood pressure, and it may affect the central nervous system, leading to symptoms such as anxiety, dizziness, insomnia, and headaches. In case of overdose, severe anxiety, coma, seizures, blood pressure changes, and vomiting may occur, necessitating immediate emergency treatment. Taking this medication with alcohol may exacerbate side effects, so it is advisable not to take them together. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding may pose risks to the fetus or infant, so it should only be taken under physician's discretion if absolutely necessary. This medication has not been proven safe and effective for children, so it is not to be used in those under 16. When prescribing, start with the minimum effective dose, and if tolerance develops, do not increase the dose but discontinue use. Finally, store this medication in a safe place out of reach of children.
