What are the Indications for PHENDIMETRAZINE?
- Indications & Usage Section Phendimetrazine tartrate is indicated in the management of exogenous obesity as a short term adjunct (a few weeks) in a regimen of weight reduction based on caloric restriction in patients with an initial body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or higher who have not responded to appropriate weight reducing regimen (diet and/or exercise) alone. Below is a chart of Body Mass Index (BMI) based on various heights and weights. BMI is calculated by taking the patient‚Äôs weight, in kilograms (kg), divided by the patient‚Äôs height, in meters (m), squared. Metric conversions are as follows: pounds √∑ 2.2 = kg; inches x 0.0254 = meters.
