Didrex is an appetite suppressant. For short-term management of obesity, Didrex should be used with diet, exercise, and behavior therapy for the best results.
How to take this medication
Take Didrex as prescribed by your doctor. Didrex should be taken 30 minutes before a meal. The last dose of the day should be ingested at least 4 to 6 hours before bedtime. (If you are taking Didrex once a day, take the dose in the morning.)
Side effects
As with any prescription, adverse effects are possible. The potential
side effects that should diminish during treatment include nervousness,
restlessness, or dry mouth. If they persist over time, check with
your doctor. If you notice adverse effects not detailed above, contact
your medical provider. (If overdose is suspected, contact your local
emergency room, immediately.) Symptoms of overdose possibly include
tremor, rapid breathing, restlessness, confusion, nausea, diarrhea,
vomiting, and stomach cramps.
Precautions
Never exceed the recommended dose of Didrex. Also do NOT take the
medication for a period of time than prescribed by your physician.
(There are certain adverse effects associated with exceeding the recommended
dose or taking Didrex for longer than prescribed.) Prior to taking
any new medicine, either over-the-counter, or prescription consult
your physician and/or pharmacist. Until you know how your body reacts
to Didrex, do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything that could
be life threatening. Before any medical or dental treatments, notify
all medical specialists that you are using Didrex. FOR WOMEN: Do not
use this medicine if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. (The medicine
can be excreted in breast milk.)
Drug interactions
Some prescriptions and medical conditions may interact with Didrex.
Report all of the over-the-counter and prescribed medicines that you
are taking to your doctor or pharmacist. Do not use Didrex if you
are also taking furazolidone, guanadrel, guanethidine, or monoamine
oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Remember to inform your doctor of any
other medical conditions, including pregnancy, breast-feeding or allergies.
Notes
If you miss a dose of Didrex, take it as soon as possible. However,
if you are taking Didrex once a day and you miss a dose, and it is
afternoon or after 4 pm, skip the missed dose and go back to your
regular dosing schedule. NEVER take 2 doses at once.
