A member asked:

Is it safe to take phentramine with seizure medication?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Phentermine: Depends on the seizure medication. Ask your pharmacist to run a drug interaction check with your meds and phentermine.

Dr Cheng and another doctor agreed

Specializes in Neurology

Not really: There is increased risk of seizures of all types. The problem is not a drug interaction, its the phentramine itself.
