BONTRIL-SR® (phendimetrazine) is a sympathomimetic
amine, which is similar to an amphetamine.
It is also known as an "anorectic" or "anorexigenic"
drug. Bontril stimulates the central nervous
system (nerves and brain), which increases
your heart rate and blood pressure to decrease
your appetite.
Bontril SR Drug Interactions?
It's important to 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 taking other "stimulant"
drugs that may increase your heart rate such
as decongestants (commonly found in over-the-counter
cough and cold medicine) or caffeine.
