POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_Adults (including the elderly):_
Treatment should be started with 200 micrograms of Physiotens in the morning. The

divided doses (morning and evening) until a satisfactory response has been achieved.
If the response is still unsatisfactory after a further three weeks’ treatment, the dosage
can be increased up to a maximum of 600 micrograms in divided doses (morning and
evening).
A single dose of 400 micrograms of Physiotens and a daily dose of 600 micrograms in
divided doses (morning and evening) should not be exceeded.

ml/min), the single dose should not exceed 200 micrograms and the daily dose should
not exceed 400 micrograms of moxonidine.
