QSYMIA - phentermine/topiramate ER capsules
- Product / population
- QSYMIA fixed-combination extended-release capsules; renal ceiling, not a starting-dose or taper schedule.
- Renal measure
- CrCl by Cockcroft-Gault using actual body weight, mL/min.
Renal dosing, restrictions and evidence limits
For CrCl below 50 mL/min, the maximum is phentermine 7.5 mg/topiramate 46 mg orally once daily. For CrCl 50 to less than 80, the usual regimen may be used. Avoid use in end-stage renal disease on dialysis. Keep the initial titration, pregnancy-prevention requirements, contraindications, and discontinuation precautions from the full label; the renal ceiling is not an instruction to start at that dose.
