For oral administration.
In general, NSAIDS should only be used when an anti-inflammatory

caution in the elderly who are more prone to adverse events.
Undesirable effects may be minimized by using the lowest
effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms
(_see section 4.4, Special warnings and precautions for _
_use). _Treatment should be reviewed at regular intervals and
discontinued if no benefit is seen or intolerance occurs.
Adults:
The usual dose is 1200 to 1600 mg daily in divided doses. Some
patients may be maintained on 600-1200 mg daily. The
maximum daily dose should not exceed 2400 mg.
Elderly:
The recommended adult dose is appropriate. No specific dosage
modifications are required unless renal or hepatic function is
impaired, in which case dosage should be assessed individually.
Care should be taken in elderly
