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.
Prescription Phentermine - 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

use should be limited. Phentermine is not recommended for use in children.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist for further information.

other weight loss medicine. Decongestants are commonly found in
over-the-counter cough and cold medicine.
