4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Antihypertensive
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Normopresan Tablets are for oral administration only.
ADULTS:
Treatment of hypertension requires regular medical supervision. The
dose of
Normopresan must be individualized according to the patient's blood
pressure
response.
As an initial daily dose in mild to moderate forms of hypertension, 75
mcg (half a
tablet) to 150 mcg (one tablet) twice daily are sufficient in most
cases. After a
period of 2-4 weeks the dose may be increased if necessary until the
desired
response is achieved.
Usually doses above 600 mcg per day do not result in a further marked
drop in
blood pressure. In severe hypertension it might be necessary to
increase the
single dose further to 300 mcg; this could be repeated up to three
times daily
(900 mcg).
Patients changing to treatment with Normopresan should have their
existing
therapy reduced gradually, while Normopresan is added to the regimen.
Although concurrent use of a thiazide diuretic may be a valuable
adjuvant in
many hypertensive patients, when administered alone, Normopresan will,
in
many cases, provide full control of blood pressure. Nevertheless, the
use of a
diuretic may aid in overcoming tolerance to clonidine and permit
reduction of
2
clonidine dosage.
Normopresan may be added to an existing antihypertensive regimen where
blood pressure control has not been satisfactorily achieved. If
side-effects with
existing therapy are troublesome the concomitant use of Normopresan
may
allow a lower dose of the established regimen to be employed. Patients
