Contra-indications
When must you refrain from taking Antiadipositum RIEMSER?
Antiadipositum RIEMSER may not be taken in cases of high
blood pressure, tachycardia, palpitation, cardiac and vascular
diseases, diabetes, kidney disorders, thyroid disorders,
psychiatric disorders, enlargement of the prostate with residual
urine, glaucoma, adrenal medulla (disease with increased blood
pressure), during pregnancy and when breast feeding.
When may you take Antiadipositum RIEMSER only after
consulting your physician?
Persons of under 18 and of over 60 years and in cases of
pathological eating disorders may only take the medicine upon
recommendation of the physician.
What do you have to consider in pregnancy and when
breast-feeding ?
As sufficient experience has not been made so far in the
human concerning the administration of anti-adiposity RIEMSER in
pregnancy and when breast feeding and furthermore, as appetite
inhibitors are not to be taken in pregnancy and when breast
feeding for principles of drug safety Antiadipositum RIEMSER may
not be administered in these periods. Animal experiments did not
point to any damaging effects with a therapeutic dose.
Cautionary measures for application and warning
notices
Which cautionary measures must be observed?
Antiadipositum RIEMSER contains a centrally exciting
substance, which only unfolds its anorexic effect for a limited
time. If administered for a period longer than four weeks severe
health problems may be experienced (concentration disorders, low
performance, over-excitement, short temper, change of
personality, insomnia and exhaustion). Therefore a pause of at
lease two (better three) months should be made after a four-week
treatment.
If administered without a break there is a danger of
addiction and critical mental changes (misjudgements, psychoses)
and depressions when stopping the administration.
What must you observe in road traffic and when working
with machines and working without a safe hold?
This drug, even when administered correctly, can cause such
reaction disorders that active participation in road traffic or
at operating machines is impaired. This applies particularly as
interaction with alcohol.
Interactions with other drugs
Which other drugs / substances influence the effect of
Antiadipositum RIEMSER?
Antiadipositum RIEMSER is not to be taken together with drugs
that contain the pharmaceutical substance guanethidine
(increases the sympathomimetic effect). The same applies to
drugs to treat colds and asthma, which contain DL-Norephedrine (Phenylpropanolamine)
or other ephedrine-type substances and drugs to increase blood
pressure. Interactions with the anaesthetic Halothane (cardiac
dysrhythmia) have to be considered.
The administration of Antiadipositum RIEMSER during and up to
a fortnight after a treatment with monoamine oxidase (MAO)
inhibitors must be refrained from as a critical increase in
blood pressure may be the result. Should you be undergoing
treatment with antidepressants, ask your physician or chemist
before your first application of Antiadipositum RIEMSER.
Dosage instructions, type and duration of
administration
The following doses apply, provided your physician has
not prescribed Antiadipositum RIEMSER otherwise:
If not otherwise prescribed, adults take 1 x daily 1 retard
capsule Antiadipositum RIEMSER after breakfast, unchewed with a
little liquid.
Note : Exceeding the dose does not result in an
increased effect.
How long can you take Antiadipositum RIEMSER?
Do not take for over four weeks (refer to Warning notice
under "Side effects").
Should a further reduction in weight be indicated,
anti-adiposity RIEMSER may be administered again after a pause
in treatment. In the meantime the intake of calories must be
observed in order not to endanger the success already achieved.
Administration mistakes and overdoses
If inadvertent or intended over-doses of Antiadipositum
RIEMSER are administered, the result may be a feeling of nausea
or vomiting, unrest, headaches, giddiness with a considerably
increased high blood pressure. Cardiac dysrhythmia, anxiety or
excitation may be experienced. A physician should always be
consulted in cases of overdoses, particularly when one of the
above symptoms occurs.
Side effects
What side effects can occur when administering
Antiadipositum RIEMSER?
Occasionally an increase of blood pressure, of pulse rate,
cardiac dysrhythmia or possibly cardiac pains may be
experienced. In particularly disposed patients urination
disorders, nervosity, vertigo, headaches or insomnia may occur.
These effects generally disappear immediately upon discontinuing
administration of the drug.
Note:
If you notice side effects, stop taking Antiadipositum
RIEMSER. Should you experience more severe complaints or if the
complaints persist for a longer period after stopping
administration, consult a physician.
Should you experience side effects that have not been listed
here, please inform your physician or chemist.
