According to the nature and severity of pain, the recommended dosage
is generally 12.5 mg every 4-6
hours or 25 mg every 8 hours. The total daily dose should not exceed

necessary to control symptoms (see section 4.4).

must be limited to the
symptomatic period.
_Elderly _
In elderly patients it is recommended to start the therapy at the
lower end of the dosage range (50 mg
total daily dose). The dosage may be increased to that recommended for
the general population only
after good general tolerance has been ascertained.
_Hepatic impairment _
Patients with mild to moderate hepatic dysfunction should start
therapy at reduced doses (50 mg total
daily dose) and be closely monitored. Fenodex tablets should not be
used in patients with severe
hepatic dysfunction.
