INDICATIONS
Duromine is an anorectic agent indicated in the management of obesity as a short-term adjunct in a medically monitored comprehensive regimen of weight reduction based, for example, on exercise, diet (caloric/kilojoule restriction) and behaviour modification in obese patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or greater. The treatment with Duromine can be initiated in overweight patients with a lower BMI (25 to 29.9 kg/m2) which increases the risk of morbidity from a number of disorders. Secondary organic causes of obesity should be excluded by diagnosis before prescribing this agent.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Adults and children over 12 years:
One capsule daily at breakfast, swallowed whole. Evening dosing should be avoided, as this agent may induce insomnia. It is recommended that treatment should be initiated under the care of physicians experienced in the treatment of obesity.

The recommended starting dose is 30mg daily. The recommended maintenance dose, either continuous or intermittent is 15 to 30 mg daily depending on responsiveness. The recommended dose of Duromine should not be exceeded to increase the effect. Duromine should not be combined with other appetite suppressants. Patients require medical review after a defined course of treatment, which should not exceed three months.

Children under 12 years:
Duromine is not recommended for children under the age of twelve.

Elderly:
Duromine is not recommended for the elderly.
