POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Adults and adolescents over 12 years of age: 10 mg once daily (1
tablet).
The tablets need to be swallowed with a glass of liquid.
Elderly subjects: data do not suggest that the dose needs to be
reduced in elderly
subjects provided that the renal function is normal.
Patients with moderate to severe renal impairment: there are no data
to document the
efficacy/safety ratio in patients with renal impairement. Since
cetirizine is mainly
excreted via renal route (see section 5.2), in cases no alternative
treatment can be
used, the dosing intervals must be individualized according to renal
function. Refer
to the following table and adjust the dose as indicated. To use this
dosing table, an
estimate of the patient’s creatinine clearance (CL
cr
) in ml/min is needed. The CL
cr
(ml/min) may be estimated from serum creatinine (mg/dl) determination
using the
following formula:
