Before prescribing phentermine to Sarah, a thorough drug history should be taken including assessing for the use of serotonergic agents such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and St John's wort due to:
 
  1. Additive respiratory depression risk
  2. Additive effects affecting liver function
  3. The risk of serotonin syndrome
  4. The risk of altered cognitive functioning

Question 2

Sarah, a 42-year-old female, requests a prescription for an anorexiant to treat her obesity. A trial of phentermine is prescribed. Prescribing precautions include:
 
  1. Understanding that obesity is a contraindication to prescribing phentermine
  2. Anorexiants may cause tolerance and should only be prescribed for 6 months
  3. Patients should be monitored for postural hypotension
  4. Renal function should be monitored closely while on anorexiants
