Posology
_ _
_Adults _
A daily dose of 1600 mg should be taken as a single dose. When higher
daily
doses are used, the part of the dose exceeding 1600 mg should be taken
separately (as a second dose) as recommended below.
_Paediatric population _
Bonefos has not been evaluated in children.

_Elderly _
There are no special dosage recommendations in the elderly. Clinical
trials
have included patients over 65 years and no adverse reactions specific
to this
age group have been reported.
_Renal impairment_
Clodronate is eliminated mainly via the kidneys. Therefore, it should
be used
with caution in patients with renal failure; daily doses exceeding
1600mg
should not be used continuously.
