Mpion Tablets (Diethylpropion Hydrochloride)

Adult dose

Adults: Administer 25 mg of diethylpropion hydrochloride orally 3 times daily, 1 hour before meals. The maximum daily dose is 75 mg, and the last dose should be taken no later than 4 hours before bedtime. To minimize the potential for abuse, prescribe or dispense the lowest possible dose during the initial period (within 2 weeks), and adjust the dose individually to obtain an appropriate response. This medicine should be administered for a short period (within 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 (a weight loss of at least 1.8 kg, or when both the physician and patient consider the weight loss satisfactory).

This medication should not be used with other appetite suppressants and should only be used alone for a short period. The weight loss effect is limited, so it should be used with caution and use should be discontinued if no effect is seen without increasing the dosage. Prolonged use can lead to drug abuse and dependence, which is strictly prohibited. If mental dependence develops, the medication should be discontinued gradually, as sudden cessation can result in severe fatigue and depression. If symptoms such as angina, syncope, limb edema, or exercise-induced dyspnea occur, use should be discontinued immediately and pulmonary hypertension should be checked. This medication may increase the risk of pulmonary hypertension and valvular heart disease, so heart examinations should be conducted. It should not be used in patients with specific diseases or conditions, such as hypertension, glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, psychiatric disorders, or a history of substance abuse. Patients with cardiovascular disease, epilepsy, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or diabetes require regular monitoring and caution during administration.
