Possible uses of Ionamin
Ionamin is used as an appetite suppressant. Ionamin is used in conjunction with an overall diet plan to reduce weight.

How to take Ionamin
Take Ionamin on an empty stomach, once daily, 30-60 minutes before breakfast. The Ionamin tablet may be broken or cut in half. Do not crush or chew tablet. Because Ionamin may cause sleeplessness, avoid taking a dose late in the day. Take Ionamin as prescribed. Do not take it more often or longer than directed.

Side Effects of Ionamin
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 for Ionamin
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 can increase unwanted side effects of dizziness. Limit alcohol use. Ionamin is not recommended for use in children. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for further information.

Drug Interactions with Ionamin
Inform your doctor about all the medicines you use, (prescription and nonprescription) especially if you take high blood pressure 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 or blood pressure such as decongestants or caffeine. Decongestants are commonly found in over-the-counter cough and cold medicine.

Missed Dose for Ionamin
If you miss a Ionamin dose, do not double the next dose. Instead, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule.

Storage of Ionamin
Store Ionamin at room temperature away from sunlight and moisture. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children.

Notes for Ionamin
Ionamin appetite suppressants are not a substitute for proper diet. For maximum effects, Ionamin must be used in conjunction with a diet and exercise program. Do not share Ionamin medication with others.
