DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
5.1
DOSAGE IN ADULTS
Use the lowest effective dose for the patient. The recommended initial
dose is 5 mg for
women and either 5 or 10 mg for men, taken only once per night
immediately before bedtime
with at least 7-8 hours remaining before the planned time of
awakening. If the 5 mg dose is
2
not effective, the dose can be increased to 10 mg. In some patients,
the higher morning blood
levels following use of the 10 mg dose increase the risk of next day
impairment of driving
and other activities that require full alertness [see Warnings and
Precautions (8.2)]. The total
dose of Stilnox should not exceed 10 mg once daily immediately before
bedtime.
