Dosage and Administration
Exogenous Obesity: Dosage should be individualized to obtain an adequate response with the lowest effective dose.
The usual adult dose is one capsule or tablet (37.5 mg) daily, administered before breakfast or 1-2 hours after breakfast. For tablets, the dosage may be adjusted to the patient's need. For some patients 1/2 tablet (18.75 mg) daily may be adequate, while in some cases it may be desirable to give 1/2 tablet (18.75 mg) two times a day.
Late evening medication should be avoided because of the possibility of resulting insomnia.
