Pendiye Tablet (Phendimetrazine Tartrate)

Adult dose

For phendimetrazine tartrate, 35 mg should be taken orally 2 to 3 times a day 1 hour before meals. The dosage should use the minimum effective dose but should be adjusted individually to obtain an appropriate response. In some patients, 17.5 mg once a day may be suitable. The dose should not exceed 70 mg at a time or 3 times a day. This medication is taken for a short term (within 4 weeks).

This medication must only be used alone, and only for a short period of time, as using it in combination with other appetite suppressants can lead to serious heart issues. It may increase the risk of a rare cardiovascular disease known as pulmonary arterial hypertension, so if symptoms like difficulty breathing, chest pain, or fainting occur, use should be stopped immediately, and medical attention should be sought. There may be risks associated with heart valve disease, so it is advisable to undergo tests to check heart status before using this drug. This medication should not be given to individuals with certain health conditions, such as heart disease, hypertension, hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, mental instability, or a history of substance abuse. It should not be used by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, and caution is advised for nursing mothers. This drug can affect the central nervous system and may cause symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, and dizziness, so caution should be taken when driving or operating dangerous machinery. Diabetic patients may need to adjust their insulin dosage while taking this medication, so consultation with healthcare professionals is required. In case of overdose, severe symptoms such as extreme anxiety, coma, seizures, and abnormal blood pressure can occur, and immediate emergency treatment is necessary. This drug may lead to dependency, so patients should not abruptly discontinue high-dose use after a long period but should taper off gradually under medical supervision.
