Some of the side effects include hypertension, glaucoma, increased heart rate, high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, and cardiovascular disease. Careful monitoring of the patient by the physician can help reduce the side effects so it is very important to report all changes or possible side effects immediately. People taking other medications such as serotonin inhibitors, insulin, heart pressure medication, and muscle relaxers are not recommended to use the drug for weight loss. Always discuss all medications with the attending physician before taking Phentermine. Do not share the prescription with anyone that is not granted permission by the physician. Take the dosages as prescribed. If a dosage is missed, do not take a double dose at the next schedule prescription time as this may lead to higher risks of side effects. |
