Possible uses of Tenuate
Tenuate is an appetite suppressant used along with diet, exercise, and behavior therapy for the short-term management of obesity.

How to take Tenuate
Take Tenuate on an empty stomach, once daily, 30-60 minutes before breakfast. Do not increase your dose or take it more often than prescribed because Tenuate can be habit forming. Also, if used for a longer period of time, do not suddenly stop Tenuate without first consulting your doctor. Tenuate is usually taken for 8 to 12 weeks.

Side Effects
Side effects, that may go away during treatment, include restlessness, nervousness, difficulty sleeping, or dry mouth. If they continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.

Precautions
Do not exceed the recommended dose or take Tenuate for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor. Exceeding the recommended dose or taking Tenuate for longer than prescribed may cause serious side effects. Keep all doctor and laboratory appointments while you are using Tenuate. Before you begin taking any new medicine, either prescription or over-the-counter, check with your doctor or pharmacist. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous until you know how you react to this medicine. Before you have any medical or dental treatments, emergency care, or surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are using Tenuate. For women: Tenuate is excreted in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you are using Tenuate, check with your doctor or pharmacist to discuss the risks to your baby.

Drug Interactions
Inform your doctor about all the medicines you use, (prescription and nonprescription) especially if you take high blood pressure medicine or MAO inhibitors (e.g., furazolidone, phenelzine, selegiline, tranylcypromine) or any other weight loss medicine. Avoid "stimulant" drugs that may increase your heart rate or blood pressure such as decongestants or caffeine. Decongestants are commonly found in over-the-counter cough and cold medicine.

Missed 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 Tenuate at room temperature away from sunlight and moisture. Keep Tenuate and all medications out of the reach of children.

Notes
Appetite suppressants are not a substitute for proper diet. For maximum effects, Tenuate must be used in conjunction with a diet and exercise program. Do not share Tenuate with others.
