It is strongly advised that you take phendimetrazine exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.

Phendimetrazine is usually taken once a day (sustained release formula) or two to three times daily (immediate-release formula) before meals on an empty stomach. Take each dose with a full glass of water.

Do not take phendimetrazine in the evening because it may cause insomnia.

Furthermore, do not crush, chew, or open any "once-daily" phendimetrazine tablets or capsules. Swallow them whole.

Never take more of this medication than is prescribed for you. Too much phendimetrazine could be very dangerous to your health.
