Non insulin-dependent

physical exercise and weight loss alone are not sufficient to control

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The daily dose may vary from 1 to 4 tablets per day, _i.e_. from 30 to
120 mg taken
orally in a single intake at breakfast time.
It is recommended that the tablet(s) be swallowed whole.
If a dose is forgotten, there must be no increase in the dose taken
the next day.
As with any hypoglycaemic agent, the dose should be adjusted according
to the
individual patient's metabolic response (blood glucose, HbAlc).
•
Initial dose
The recommended starting dose is 30 mg daily.
If blood glucose is effectively controlled, this dose may be used for
maintenance
treatment.
If blood glucose is not adequately controlled, the dose may be
increased to 60, 90 or
120 mg daily, in successive steps. The interval between each dose
increment should
be at least 1 month except in patients whose blood glucose has not
reduced after two
weeks of treatment. In such cases, the dose may be increased at the
end of the second
week of treatment.
The maximum recommended daily dose is 120 mg.
•
Switching from Diamicron 80 mg tablets to Diamicron 30 mg modified
release tablets:
1 tablet of Diamicron 80 mg is comparable to 1 tablet of Diamicron 30
mg MR
Tablets.
Consequently
the
switch
can
be
performed
provided
a
careful
blood
monitoring.
•
Switching from another oral antidiabetic agent to Diamicron 30 mg MR
Tablets:
Diamicron 30 mg MR Tablets can be used to replace other oral
antidiabetic agents.
