Adipex
Cautions
Do not exceed the recommended dose and avoid taking adipex for longer than
prescribed without checking with your doctor. These both factors may cause
serious side effects. Do not forget to keep all doctor or laboratory
appointments while you are using adipex. If you plan to start taking any other
medicine after the adipex, be it prescription or over-the-counter, you should
not forget to check with your doctor or pharmacist.
Avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing anything else that may be dangerous until you understand how you react to adipex. If you are going to have any medical or dental treatments, emergency care, or surgery, it is necessary to tell the doctor or dentist that you are using adipex.
Women who plan to become pregnant should definitely discuss the benefits and risks of using adipex during pregnancy with their doctor. The science has no conclusion if adipex is excreted in breast milk, so avoid breast-feeding while taking it.
As it had already been noted in "what you should know before using adipex" section above, the presence of other medical problems may affect the use of adipex. If you suffer from or have suffered from one or more of the problems listed above, please inform your doctor before start taking adipex.
Adipex may cause unwanted side effects in the following cases:
- Driving and Hazardous Work - adipex (or other diet pills) may cause some people to feel a false sense of well-being or to become dizzy, lightheaded, drowsy, or less alert than normal. Please avoid driving or engaging in hazardous work until you know how adipex affects you.
- Infants and Children - adipex (or other appetite suppressants) are not recommended for use by children under age 16. Studies on appetite suppressants have been done only in adult patients, and there is no specific information comparing use of adipex in children with use in other age groups.
