Bontril Slow-Release


Generic Name: phendimetrazine (fen di MEH tra zeen)

Brand Names: Adipost, Bontril PDM, Bontril Slow Release, Melfiat


What is Bontril Slow Release (phendimetrazine)?

Phendimetrazine is similar to an amphetamine. Phendimetrazine stimulates the central nervous system (nerves and brain), which increases your heart rate and blood pressure and decreases your appetite.


Phendimetrazine is used as a short-term supplement to diet and exercise in the treatment of obesity.


Phendimetrazine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about Bontril Slow Release (phendimetrazine)?


Phendimetrazine may cause blurred vision or impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert and able to see clearly. Phendimetrazine may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it. Do not stop using phendimetrazine suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to avoid withdrawal symptoms when you stop using phendimetrazine. Do not crush, chew, break, or open the extended-release capsule. Swallow it whole. Breaking or opening the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Bontril Slow Release (phendimetrazine)?


Do not use phendimetrazine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects. You should not use this medication if you are allergic to phendimetrazine, or if you have:

  • coronary artery disease (hardening of the arteries);




  • heart disease;




  • severe or uncontrolled high blood pressure;




  • heart murmur or heart valve disorder;




  • pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH);




  • overactive thyroid;




  • glaucoma;




  • severe agitation or nervousness;




  • if you have a history of drug or alcohol abuse; or




  • if you are allergic to other diet pills, amphetamines, stimulants, or cold medications.



To make sure you can safely take phendimetrazine, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:



  • high blood pressure;




  • diabetes;




  • an anxiety disorder;




  • epilepsy or seizure disorder; or




  • if you have used other diet pills in the past year (prescription, over-the-counter, or herbal products).




It is not known whether phendimetrazine will harm an unborn baby. Do not take phendimetrazine without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant. It is also not known whether phendimetrazine passes into breast milk. Do not take phendimetrazine without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

How should I take Bontril Slow Release (phendimetrazine)?


Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Phendimetrazine should be taken only for a short time, such as a few weeks.


Phendimetrazine is usually taken once daily. Follow your doctor's instructions.


Take phendimetrazine on an empty stomach, 30 to 60 minutes before your morning meal. Do not crush, chew, break, or open the extended-release capsule. Swallow it whole. Breaking or opening the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time. You should lose at least 4 pounds during the first 4 weeks of taking phendimetrazine and eating a low calorie diet. Tell your doctor if you do not lose at least 4 pounds after taking the medication for 4 weeks. Do not stop using phendimetrazine suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to avoid withdrawal symptoms when you stop using phendimetrazine. Never take more of this medication than is prescribed for you. Too much phendimetrazine could be very dangerous to your health. Talk with your doctor if you have increased hunger or if you otherwise think the medication is not working properly. Taking more of this medication will not make it more effective and can cause serious, life-threatening side effects. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.


A dose taken too late in the day will cause insomnia.

What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of phendimetrazine can be fatal.

Overdose symptoms of a phendimetrazine overdose include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, confusion, panic, hallucinations, extreme restlessness, feeling tired or depressed, ringing in your ears, chest pain, slow heart rate, weak pulse, fainting, seizure, or slow breathing (breathing may stop).


What should I avoid while taking Bontril Slow Release (phendimetrazine)?


Phendimetrazine may cause blurred vision or impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert and able to see clearly.

Dehydration Medications


There are currently no drugs listed for "Dehydration".

Definition of Dehydration:

Dehydration means your body does not have as much water and fluids as it should. Dehydration can be caused by losing too much fluid, not drinking enough water or fluids, or a combination of both. The most common cause of dehydration in infants and children is loss through vomiting and diarrhea from a virus.


Because of their smaller body weights and higher turnover rates for water and electrolytes, infants and children are more susceptible to dehydration than adults. The elderly and those with an illness are also at higher risk.


Dehydration is classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on the percentage of body weight lost. When severe, dehydration is a life-threatening emergency.
