weight.
How to take this medication
This medication is best taken on an empty stomach one hour

avoid taking a dose late in the day. Take this medication
as prescribed. Do not take it more often or longer than directed.
Side effects
Dry mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset or constipation
may occur the first few days as your body adjusts to Ionamin.
If these effects persist or become bothersome, inform your
doctor.
Precautions
Tell your doctor your complete medical history especially
if you have high blood pressure, an over-active thyroid, glaucoma,
diabetes or emotional problems. Consult with your doctor if
you think you are pregnant or before breast-feeding. Alcohol

your doctor or pharmacist for further information.
Drug interactions

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
such as decongestants or caffeine. Decongestants are commonly
found in over-the-counter cough and cold medicine.
