Bontril

Bontril is used as an appetite suppressant. It is used in conjunction with an overall diet plan to reduce weight. Bontril is best taken on an empty stomach one hour before meals. Because this medication may cause sleeplessness, avoid taking a dose late in the day. Take Bontril as prescribed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The following information is intended to supplement, not substitute for, the expertise and judgment of your physician, pharmacist or other healthcare professional. It should not be construed to indicate that use of the drug is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Consult your healthcare professional before using this drug.

APPETITE SUPPRESSANTS - ORAL

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Bontril or Bontril S-R

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Phendimetrazine

BONTRIL USES: This medication is used in combination with a diet plan to help you reduce weight.

HOW TO USE: You should take Bontril at least one hour prior to meals. It is a sustained-release, long acting product and it is important that it be swallowed whole. If you crush or chew them you will destroy the sustained long acting property of the medication and this may cause increased side effects.

Because this medication may cause sleeplessness, you should avoid taking a dose late in the day. Take this medication as prescribed. Do not take it more often or longer than directed. It is usually taken for 8 to 12 weeks. It is generally not recommended to take Bontril in combination with other appetite suppressants. Consult with a doctor before such use.

SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects reported have been experienced only in the first few days, as the body becomes use to the medication. They are blurred vision, dizziness, dry mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset or constipation. If these effects persist or become annoying or troubling, inform your doctor. If you experience chest pain, nervousness, pounding heart, difficulty urinating, mood changes, breathing difficulties or swelling while taking this medication-notify your doctor. If this medication makes you dizzy or lightheaded, avoid driving or engaging in activities requiring alertness.

PRECAUTIONS: During your online consultation, 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.

NOTE: This medication can be habit forming and must be used with caution. It is not recommended for individuals with prior history of addictions. Alcohol can increase unwanted side effects of dizziness. Limit alcohol use. This drug is not recommended for use in children.

Ask our doctor or pharmacist for further information. BONTRIL-SR® (phendimetrazine) is a sympathomimetic amine, which is similar to an amphetamine. It is also known as an "anorectic" or "anorexigenic" drug. Bontril stimulates the central nervous system (nerves and brain), which increases your heart rate and blood pressure to decrease your appetite.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: It's important to 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 taking other "stimulant" drugs that may increase your heart rate such as decongestants (commonly found in over-the-counter cough and cold medicine) or caffeine.

OVERDOSE: If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include restlessness, fever, fast breathing, dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, panic or paranoid, drowsiness, convulsions, unconsciousness, unusually fast or slow heart beat, headache, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, pale or flushing, chest pain, sweating, muscle weakness, agitation, large pupils, or delusions.

WHAT IF YOU MISS A DOSE: If you miss your dose of Bontril, it is important that you DO NOT double the next dose. Just skip the missed dose and restart your usual dosing schedule the following morning.

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 this medication with others.

STORAGE: Store your Bontril at room temperature and keep it away from sunlight and moisture. As always, keep this medication out of the reach of children.
