Obermine is used, in combination with diet and exercise, to help you lose weight. It works by decreasing your appetite. Obermine is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Obermine comes in tablets and extended-release capsules. It usually is taken as a single daily dose in the morning or three times a day 30 minutes before meals. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Obermine exactly as directed. Most people take the drug for 3-6 weeks; the length of treatment depends on how you respond to the medication. Obermine can be habit-forming. Do not take a larger dose, take it more often, or for a longer period than your doctor tells you to. To prevent side effects, Obermine should be taken with meals. If you are taking an extended-release (long-acting) product, do not chew or crush the tablet. There are some tablets that can be crushed and mixed with food. |
