How to take Qsymia

Taken once daily. Everything below is quoted from the FDA label rather than summarised, because a dosing instruction restated twice stops being the label and the detail that goes missing is always the number. What this page adds to the label is the part the label has no reason to carry: what a mistake costs.

How do you take Qsymia, and what does getting it wrong cost?

Take QSYMIA orally once daily in the morning with or without food. Store at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), excursions permitted between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F). On a missed dose the label is specific rather than permissive, and the window is short — the exact wording is below.
