IONAMIN
![]() | Ionamin is used with an overall diet and exercise plan to reduce weight. Ionamin contains sustained-release form of Phentermine in a resin complex. Ionamin stimulates the central nervous system (the brain and nerves). It works by stimulating the brain and nerves to increase the heart rate and blood pressure; as a result it decreases the appetite. |

Ionamin While Pregnant? Breast-feeding?
Ionamin should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risk and benefits with your doctor. Ionamin may be excreted into breast milk. You may have to stop nursing or stop using Ionamin. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug Interactions
Inform your doctor about all the medicines you use, (prescription and nonprescription) especially if you take: high blood pressure medicine, MAO inhibitors (e.g., furazolidone, linezolid, phenelzine, selegiline, tranylcypromine), 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 medicines. Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.
Ionamin Overdose
If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include restlessness, fever, fast breathing, dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, panic or paranoid, drowsiness, convulsions, unconsciousness, unusually fast or slow heart beat, headache, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, pale or flushing, chest pain, sweating, muscle weakness, agitation, large pupils, or delusions.
Notes
Appetite suppressants are not a substitute for proper diet. For maximum effects, this must be used in conjunction with a diet and exercise program. Do not share Ionamin with others.
Ionamin Vs Xenical
Ionamin is an appetite suppressant. Xenical inhibits fat absorption into the body. So both may be used in conjunction with each other for those who are seriously obese.
Missed Ionamin Dose
If you miss a dose, do not double the next dose. Instead, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule.
Storage
Store at room temperature away from sunlight and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom.
