POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Mode of administration: _
Treatment should be started with low doses. The dose may be increased
progressively
until the maintenance dose suited to the individual patient has been
found. The cross-
scored tablets facilitate the administration of lower daily doses in
the initial stages of
treatment.
The dosage of clonazepam must be adjusted to the needs of each
individual and
depends on the individual response to therapy. The maintenance dosage
must be
determined according to clinical response and tolerance.
The daily dose should be divided into 3 or 4 doses throughout the day.
If doses are
not equally divided, the largest dose should be given before retiring.
Once the
maintenance dose level has been reached, the daily amount may be given
in a single
dose in the evening.
Simultaneous administration of more than one antiepileptic drug is a
common
practice in the treatment of epilepsy and may be undertaken with
clonazepam. The
dosage of each drug may be required to be adjusted to obtain the
optimum effect. If
status epilepticus occurs in a patient receiving oral clonazepam,
intravenous
clonazepam may still control the status. Before adding clonazepam to
