TENUATE
Tenuate is used to suppress the appetite of the user. It should be used with a weight reduction diet plan. Tenuate, an appetite suppressant, is prescribed for short-term use (a few weeks) as part of an overall diet plan for weight reduction. It is available in two forms: immediate-release tablets (Tenuate) and controlled-release tablets (Tenuate Dospan). Tenuate should be used with a behavior modification program
Take this medication exactly as prescribed. Tenuate may be habit-forming and can be addicting. If you are taking Tenuate Dospan (the controlled release formulation), do not crush or chew the tablets. Swallow the medication whole. Use Tenuate as prescribed. Tenuate may be habit-forming and can be addicting.If you are taking Tenuate Dospan (the controlled release formulation), do not crush or chew the tablets. Swallow the medication whole.  The effects of diabetic medication may be changed when taking Tenuate. Furthermore, Tenuate and a barbiturate, used together, may diminish the effectiveness of both drugs. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) will augment Tenuate elimination. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) will reduce Tenuate elimination. What has not been determined is the safety and usefulness of taking Tenuate in combination with SSRIís and other psychotherapeutic drugs. The effects of drugs for the treatment of high blood pressure (guanethidine) may be reduced when using tricyclic antidepressants in conjunction with diethylpropion. This combination may also result in high blood pressure or irregular heartbeat. According to reports, tricyclic antidepressants amplify emphetamine effects. Do not use Tenuate less than 14 days after stopping the use of a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor, or at all while taking a MAO inhibitor. This may result in various side effects, especially extreme high blood pressure. If you take common decongestants, remember than the over-the-counter decongestants many consumers take actually contain antihistamines, so speak to your pharmacist. Because you should not take this drug at the same time as an MAO inhibitor, if you stop taking either this drug or the MAO inhibitor, you should wait 2 weeks before starting to take the other drug. |
