POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_ADULTS _
It is particularly important that the minimum effective dose be used.
In all cases the
patient’s management must be judged on the individual response and
well-being. The
following dosage regimen is generally effective.
_INITIAL STABILISATION _
Treatment should be started with 200mg, three times a day and may be
continued for
1 week. The dosage should then be reduced to 200mg, twice daily for a
further week.
_MAINTENANCE _
After the initial period the dosage should be reduced to 200mg daily,
or less if
appropriate. Rarely, the patient may require a higher maintenance
dose. The scored
100mg tablet should be used to titrate the minimum dosage required to
maintain
control of the arrhythmia. The maintenance dose should be regularly
reviewed,
especially where this exceeds 200mg daily.
