Meridia diet pills vary in dosages. Meridia diet pills in 10mg
doses are the recommended starting dose administered to
patients once daily with or without food. If the patient
does not experience adequate weight loss after a period
of 4 weeks (remember it takes 4-6 weeks to experience the
weight loss you’re looking for with Meridia diet
drugs), the dosage can be increased to Meridia 15mg administered
once daily. Usually Meridia diet pills in 5mg doses is
reserved for patients that suffer side effects from Meridia
10mg. Heart rate and blood pressure should be considered
when making decisions regarding Meridia diet pill dosage
levels. Your doctor will advise you on the proper dosage
level to purchase. Meridia diet pills taken in doses above
15mg doses per day are not recommended. In most Meridia
diet pill trials, Meridia was administered in the morning.
What happens if someone you know suffers from a Meridia
diet pill overdose? Although there is limited overdose experience
to report, these three instances of Meridia diet pill overdose
occurred without serious incident. The first instance occurred
in a 2-year old child of one patient who ingested up to 8
Meridia diet pills, each being 10mg capsules. No complications
were observed during the overnight stay at the hospital.
The child was subsequently discharged from the hospital the
following day without complications. The second Meridia diet
pill overdose instance occurred in a 30-year old male engaged
in a depression study. He ingested approximately 100mg of
Meridia diet pills in an apparent attempt to commit suicide.
The patient suffered no complications or ECG abnormalities.
The third instance occurred in a 45-year old husband of a
patient in an obese dyslipidemic study. He ingested 400mg
of his wife’s Meridia diet pill supply and was hospitalized
for observation after the physicians noted a heart rate of
120 beats per minute (bpm). He, however, was discharged the
next day with no apparent sequels or aftereffects.
Meridia Diet Pill Dosing
If you miss a dose of the Meridia diet pill, take it as soon
as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose,
skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule.
Do not double the Meridia diet pill dose to catch up.
After you purchase
Meridia online or, again, at a local pharmacy of your choosing, you should stored it
away from light and moisture at room temperature between
59 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit (15-30 degrees Celsius). Keep
it and all medications out of the reach of children.
