Meridian Weight Loss

Meridia medication is used as an appetite suppressant. It is used in conjunction with an overall diet plan to reduce weight.

Take by mouth exactly as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. The full effect on weight may require four to six weeks.

Do not increase your dose, take it more frequently or use it for a longer period of time than prescribed because this drug can be habit-forming. Also, if used for a longer period of time, do not suddenly stop using this medication without your doctor's approval. Over time, this drug may not work as well as it did at the beginning. Consult your doctor if weight increases.

MERIDIA PRECAUTIONS: Before using this medication, tell your doctor your entire medical history, including any allergies (especially drug allergies), liver or kidney disease, high blood pressure or heart disease, history of stroke or seizures, certain eating disorders (e.g., anorexia nervosa), glaucoma (narrow angle), or history of gallstones. Limit alcohol intake, as it may worsen certain side effects of this medication. It is recommended that women of child-bearing age should use effective birth control while taking this medication.

This drug is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Consult your doctor before using this medication. It is not known whether this drug is excreted into breast milk.

Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding while using this drug is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the effects of this drug. Use cautiously.
