USES
Didrex is used in combination with a diet plan to help you reduce weight.
HOW TO USE
Didrex is best taken on an empty stomach one hour before a meal. Sustained-release or long acting products must be swallowed whole. Crushing or chewing them will destroy the long action and may cause increased side effects. Because Didrex may cause sleeplessness, avoid taking a dose late in the day. Take Didrex as prescribed. Do not take Didrex more often or longer than directed. It is usually taken for 8 to 12 weeks. Use of Didrex in combination with other appetite suppressant medicine is generally not recommended. Consult your doctor before such use.

If these effects persist or become bothersome, inform your doctor. Notify your doctor if you experience: chest pain, nervousness, pounding heart, difficulty urinating, mood changes, breathing difficulties, swelling. If Didrex makes you dizzy or lightheaded, avoid driving or engaging in activities requiring alertness. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
PRECAUTIONS

Didrex can be habit forming and must be used with caution. Alcohol can increase unwanted side effects of dizziness. Limit alcohol use. Didrex is not recommended for use in children.
