POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The total daily dose should not normally exceed 2.4g. Dosage should
be
reduced in patients with impaired renal function (see section 4.4).
Posology
Adults: The usual dosage is 400mg twice a day with breakfast and at
bedtime. Alternatively, for patients with duodenal or benign gastric
ulceration, a single daily dose of 800mg at bedtime is recommended.
Other effective regimens are 200mg, 3 times a day with meals and
400mg at bedtime (1.0g/day) and, if inadequate, 400mg, 4 times a day
(1.6g/day), also with meals and at bedtime.
Treatment should be given initially for at least 4 weeks (6 weeks in
benign gastric ulcer) even if symptomatic relief has been achieved
sooner.
Most ulcers will have healed by that stage, but those which have not
will
usually do so after a further course of treatment.
