Meridia is a diet aid used with a reduced calorie diet to promote and maintain weight loss.
Meridia helps the seriously overweight shed pounds and keep them off. It is especially recommended for those who in addition to being overweight have other health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. It is used in conjunction with a low-calorie diet.
Meridia works by boosting levels of certain chemical messengers in the nervous system, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
Most important fact about Meridia

Why should Meridia not be prescribed?
If Meridia gives you an allergic reaction, you won't be able to use it. You should also avoid Meridia (and certainly don't need it) if you suffer from the compulsive dieting disorder known as anorexia nervosa. Do not combine Meridia with other drugs used to suppress appetite, and do not use it within 2 weeks of taking a drug classified as an MAO inhibitor, including the antidepressant medications Marplan, Nardil, and Parnate.
Special warnings about Meridia
Use Meridia with caution if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure; it could make the problem worse. Avoid Meridia completely if you've had a stroke or suffer from heart disease, heart failure, or irregular heartbeat. Also avoid it if you have severe kidney or liver problems; the drug has not been tested under these conditions. Seizures are a rare, but possible, side effect. If you've had seizures in the past, use Meridia with caution. If you have a seizure while taking the drug, stop using it and call your doctor immediately. Any drug that acts on the nervous system can theoretically impair judgment, thinking, and motor skills. Meridia does not seem to have this effect, but caution is still in order until you know how the drug affects you.
If you have narrow-angle glaucoma or thyroid problems, make sure the doctor
knows; Meridia should be used with caution in these circumstances.
If you are prone to gallstones, be aware that weight loss can
cause more of them to form. Meridia has not been tested in people
under 16 years old. It should be used with caution in those
over 65. Although it has been classified as a controlled substance
(potentially subject to abuse), the possibility of developing
physical or psychological dependence is low.
Recommended Meridia dosage
ADULTS
The starting dose is 10 milligrams once daily. If you have not lost at least 4 pounds after 4 weeks, the doctor may increase the dose to 15 milligrams daily. This is the maximum; if weight loss still fails to appear, Meridia will be discontinued. For those who experience side effects at the 10-milligram level, a 5-milligram dose may prove sufficient.
Use of Meridia for longer than 1 year has not been studied.
Meridia Overdosage
Although doctors have had little experience with overdoses of Meridia, increased heart rate and blood pressure are possible results. Since any medication taken in excess can have serious consequences, seek medical attention immediately if you suspect an overdose.
