The Directions For The Intake Of Meridia
The weight-reducing
drug Meridia is taken orally, and should be
administered specifically under the direct instructions
of the physician or doctor.
The normal intake for Meridia is
once on a daily basis, and its effects are only
visible after a continuous use of four to six
weeks. The physicians and doctors are also of
the view that though Meridia is an effective
drug to reduce weight, the quantity of this
drug should not be increased at the patient's
own discretion.
On the contrary, the drug's usage
should be continued for a longer duration, and
since the drug has an addictive affect on the
users, Meridia should not be discontinued immediately.
As with all drugs, Meridia too
has shown side effects on its users. Some of
these side effects include dry mouth, drowsiness,
constipation, and difficulty in sleeping. In
case the patient observes that either of the
said side effects persist or worsen, the respective
physician or doctor should be immediately notified.
Since the usage of the drug
has severe implications on a number of vital
organs of the human body, complete medical history
should be provided to the physician or doctor
before commencing Meridia.
For example Meridia has shown
adverse implications on liver, kidney diseases,
aggravating high blood pressure and even affecting
those having various ailments of the heart,
those having previous history of stroke or seizures,
gastric problems, and glaucoma.
Hence, the usage of Meridia
should be carefully considered and prior information
on the prevalence of all the above said diseases
should be notified to the physician before beginning
therapy-using Meridia.
In addition, women of child
bearing age, those who are pregnant, or are
breast feeding infants are recommended against
the use of Meridia due to unknown set of side
effects of Meridia on this particular category
of patients.
