CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Thymanax is indicated for the treatment of major depressive episodes
in adults.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose is 25 mg once daily taken orally at bedtime.
After two weeks of treatment, if there is no improvement of symptoms,
the dose may be increased to
50 mg once daily, i.e. two 25 mg tablets, taken together at bedtime.
Decision of dose increase has to be balanced with a higher risk of
transaminases elevation. Any dose
increase to 50 mg should be made on an individual patient benefit/risk
basis and with strict respect of
Liver Function Test monitoring.
Liver function tests should be performed in all patients before
starting treatment. Treatment should not
be initiated if transaminases exceed 3 X upper limit of normal (see
sections 4.3 and 4.4).
During treatment transaminases should be monitored periodically after
around three weeks, six weeks
(end of acute phase), twelve weeks and twenty four weeks (end of
maintenance phase) and thereafter
when clinically indicated (see also section 4.4). Treatment should be
discontinued if transaminases
exceed 3 X upper limit of normal (see sections 4.3 and 4.4).
When increasing the dosage, liver function tests should again be
performed at the same frequency as
when initiating treatment.
_Treatment duration _
Patients with depression should be treated for a sufficient period of
at least 6 months to ensure that
they are free o
