with moderate to severe obesity.

considerably in their reactions. Among the side effects which are
relatively common are dryness of the
mouth, restlessness, headache, insomnia, irritability, dizziness and

to
fatigue,
mental
depression,
an
increase
in
blood
pressure,
fever,
cardiovascular
reactions,
disorientation,
hallucinations
and
convulsions.
Palpitation,
tachycardia, overstimulation, euphoria,
dysphoria, rarely psychotic episodes at recommended doses. Unpleasant
taste, diarrhoea, constipation,
other gastrointestinal disturbances, urticaria, impotence, changes in
libido.
OVERDOSAGE
Symptoms: Initially irritability, agitation, disorientation and tremor
may occur, followed by cardiac
arrhythmias, convulsions, hallucinations and coma.
Treatment: The stomach should be emptied by emesis or stomach tube and
washed out with water if
the preparation has been ingested within the last three or four hours.
Diazepam, preferably by mouth
(cautiously by intravenous injection) should be used to control marked
excitement and convulsions.
Provided renal function is adequate, elimination of phentermine may be
assisted by acidification of
the urine by agents such as lysine hydrochloride or arginine
hydrochloride.
