POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The treatment should be initiated and supervised by a physician
experienced in diagnosis and
management of gastrointestinal disorders.
The recommended dose is 200 mg daily (one 100 mg tablet, twice daily).
For patients who are unable to tolerate the 200 mg daily dose (one 100
mg tablet, twice daily), the
dose can be lowered to 150 mg daily (one 75 mg tablet twice daily).
_Elderly _
In principle, general dose recommendations also apply to patients aged
65 years and above.
However, given the potential for increased sensitivity to experience
undesirable effects, it may be
considered to initiate eluxadoline treatment in a dosage of 150 mg
daily (one 75 mg tablet twice daily).
