Handling the tablet or capsule

Keep tablets or capsules in their original, tightly closed container rather than transferring them to a pill organizer — this protects against moisture, which most oral GLP-1 and weight-management drug labels specifically warn about.

Traveling with Qsymia

Because QSYMIA is a Schedule IV controlled substance (the phentermine component), keep it in its original labeled container when traveling — some jurisdictions and airport security screenings expect controlled substances in their original prescription packaging.
