Therapy in such patients should be carefully assessed initially and reassessed periodically to determine in each case that treatment is beneficial and that the benefits outweigh the risks. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION POSOLOGY _ADULTS_ Allopurinol should be introduced at low dosage e.g. 100 mg/day to reduce the risk of adverse reactions and increased only if the serum urate response is unsatisfactory. Extra caution should be exercised if renal function is poor (_see section 4.2 Renal impairment_). The following dosage schedules are suggested: 100 to 200 mg daily in mild conditions, 300 to 600 mg daily in moderately severe conditions, 700 to 800 mg daily in severe conditions. If dosage on a mg/kg bodyweight basis is required, 2 to 10 mg/kg bodyweight/day should be used. _PAEDIATRIC POPULATION_ Children under 1 Read the complete document
