PHENTERMINE HYDROCHLORIDE
Phentermine hydrochloride capsules are indicated as a short-term (a
few weeks) adjunct in a regimen of
weight reduction based on exercise, behavioral modification and
caloric restriction in the management
of exogenous obesity for patients with an initial body mass index ≥
30 kg/m2, or ≥ 27 kg/m2 in the
presence of other risk factors (e.g., controlled hypertension,
diabetes, hyperlipidemia).
Below is a chart of body mass index (BMI) based on various heights and
weights.
BMI is calculated by taking the patient’s weight, in kilograms (kg),
divided by the patient’s height, in
meters (m), squared. Metric conversions are as follows: pounds ÷ 2.2
= kg; inches x 0.0254 = meters.

The limited usefulness of agents of this class, including phentermine,
[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1,
12.2)] should be measured against possible risk factors inherent in
their use such as those described
below.
Exogenous Obesity
Dosage should be individualized to obtain an adequate response with
the lowest effective dose.
The usual adult dose is 15 mg to 30 mg as prescribed by the physician,
at approximately 2 hours after
breakfast for appetite control. Administration of one 30 mg capsule
daily has been found to be adequate
in depression of the appetite for 12 to 14 hours.
Phentermine is not recommended for use in pediatric patients ≤ 16
years of age.
Late evening medication should be avoided because of the possibility
of resulting insomnia.
