Bontril Diet Pills

Otherwise known as Phendimetrazine, Bontril is an appetite suppressant, used as a short term supplement to diet, exercise and behavioural therapy in a monitored weight loss program. It increases your metabolism and reduces appetite.

How Does Bontril Work?

Bontril works by stimulating your central nervous system and increasing your blood pressure and heart rate. Similar to an amphetamine, it affects certain neurotransmitters to decrease your appetite. It belongs to a class of drugs called anorexiants, with the ability to reduce appetite.

How do you take Bontril?

Doctors usually recommend that you take Bontril on an empty stomach, preferably an hour before meals. The pills must be taken whole - crushing or chewing can increase side effects and reduce Bontril's long-lasting action. Also remember to drink a full glass of water with the pill.

Only take as much as your doctor prescribes as there is a risk of overdose. Bontril should also not be taken in conjunction with other diet pills. If you miss a dose then do not double-dose the next day. A dose taken late in the day may also cause insomnia.

Who should not take Bontril?

You should consult your doctor if you have any of the following conditions:

Heart disease, Arteriosclerosis, Glaucoma, Thyroid problems, Anxiety, a seizure disorder such as epilepsy, Diabetes, a history of drug/alcohol abuse.

Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid Bontril, as well as those who have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor in the last 2 weeks. Always check with your doctor first.

Bontril Side Effects

Bontril is habit-forming and is often qualified as addictive by doctors. Usage should be limited to only a few weeks. Users should speak to their doctors about any side effects that occur but I have listed some of the most common below.

If you notice these side effects, stop taking Bontril immediately and call for emergency help:

Hallucinations or confused behaviour

High blood pressure or irregular heartbeat.
Other, less serious, side effects include restlessness, anxiety, insomnia, dry mouth and diarrhea.
