POSOLOGY
_Adults _
_Hypertension _
The initial dose is 200 mg orally, taken once daily with a glass of
water. Celiprolol should be taken
on rising, 30 minutes before meals, or 2 hours after meals. If the
response is inadequate, the dose may
be increased to two 200 mg tablets in one single administration of 400
mg or one 400 mg tablet once
daily according to the therapeutic response.
In hypertensive patients additional treatment with other
anti-hypertensive agents is possible, in
particular with diuretics. When a combination is initiated an
increased monitoring of the blood
pressure is recommended.
Treatment with celiprolol should not be discontinued abruptly, but
should be discontinued gradually

may lead to an acute worsening of
the patient’s condition.
