Meridia works on the appetite control center of the brain by decreasing the amounts of several chemicals, called neurotransmitters. These chemicals carry messages, such as "I'm hungry," from the brain to the rest of the body. Meridia blocks these chemicals and their messages, so someone doesn't feel as hungry.

MERIDIA should be stored at normal room temperature (about 60 to 85°F). Never leave MERIDIA in hot or moist places.

It is important to keep MERIDIA in a safe area where children cannot get it.

If your child swallows MERIDIA, immediately speak with your doctor and/or take your child to the emergency room for

immediate medical attention.

Never take more MERIDIA than prescribed by your doctor.

You should never share MERIDIA with a friend.
