Uses

to reduce weight.
How to take this medication
This medication 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 this medication as prescribed. Do not take it more
often or longer than directed.
Side effects
Dry mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset
or constipation may occur the first few days as your
body adjusts to Ionamin. If these effects persist or
become bothersome, inform your doctor.
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. Alcohol can increase unwanted side effects
of dizziness. Limit alcohol use. Ionamin 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.

Appetite suppressants are not a substitute for proper
diet. For maximum effects, this must be used in conjunction
