Medication Information
Bontril SR is used as an
appetite suppressant. It is used in conjunction with an
overall diet plan to reduce weight.
How To Take Bontril SR
Bontril SR is best taken
on an empty stomach one hour before meals.
Sustained-release or long acting products must be
swallowed whole. Crushing or chewing them will destroy
the long action and may cause increased side effects.
Because Bontril SR may cause sleeplessness, avoid taking
a dose late in the day. Take Bontril SR as prescribed.
Do not take it more often or longer than directed. It is
usually taken for 8 to 12 weeks. Use in combination with
other appetite suppressant medicine is generally not
recommended. Consult your doctor before such use.
Side Effects
Blurred vision, dizziness, dry
mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset or
constipation may occur the first few days as your body
adjusts to the medication. If these effects persist or
become bothersome, inform your doctor. Notify your
doctor if you experience chest pain, nervousness,
pounding heart, difficulty urinating, mood changes,
breathing difficulties or swelling while taking Bontril
SR. If Bontril SR makes you dizzy or lightheaded, avoid
driving or engaging in activities requiring alertness.
Precautions
Tell your doctor your complete
medical history especially if you have high blood
pressure, an over-active thyroid, glaucoma, diabetes or
emotional problems. Consult with your doctor if you
think you are pregnant or before breast-feeding. Bontril
SR can be habit forming and must be used with caution.
Alcohol can increase unwanted side effects of dizziness.
Limit alcohol use. Bontril SR is not recommended for use
in children. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for
further information.
Drug Interactions
Inform your doctor about all
the medicines you use, (prescription and
nonprescription) especially if you take high blood
pressure medicine or MAO inhibitors (e.g., furazolidone,
phenelzine, selegiline, tranylcypromine) or any other
weight loss medicine. Avoid "stimulant" drugs that may
increase your heart rate such as decongestants or
caffeine. Decongestants are commonly found in
over-the-counter cough and cold medicine.
Notes
Appetite suppressants are not a
substitute for proper diet. For maximum effects, this
must be used in conjunction with a diet and exercise
program. Do not share Bontril SR with others.
Missed Dosage
If you miss a dose, do not double
the next dose. Instead, skip the missed dose and resume
your usual dosing schedule.
Storage
Store at room temperature away from
sunlight and moisture. Keep this and all medications out
of the reach of children |
