How should I take diethylpropion?
Take diethylpropion exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.
 | Take each dose with a full glass of water. |
 | Take diethylpropion on an empty stomach 1 hour before meals. An evening dose may be taken to overcome nighttime hunger. |
Diethylpropion is usually taken three times a day (regular-release formula). Follow your doctor's instructions.
The sustained-release formulation is usually taken once a day in the midmorning.
 | Do not crush, chew or open any "once-daily" (long-acting or sustained-release) diethylpropion tablets or capsules. Swallow them whole. |
 | Never take more of this medication than is prescribed for you. Too much diethylpropion could be very dangerous to your health. |
 | Store diethylpropion at room temperature away from moisture and heat. |
