4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_ADULTS:Hypertension:_
The usual initial dosage is 10mg given as a single dose which may be
titrated to 20mg once daily if necessary. The dosage
should be adjusted according to blood pressure response, generally at
intervals of 1-2 weeks.
In some patients, the antihypertensive effect may diminish towards the
end of the dosing interval, and the total daily dosage
should then be divided into two equal doses.
The maximum recommended daily dose in hypertensive patients is 40mg,
given as a single dose or two doses.

concomitantly (see sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 5.1).
In the case of previous diuretic treatment the diuretic should be
discontinued for 2-3 days before commencing Cibacen and
reinstituted subsequently if necessary. If it is not possible to
discontinue the diuretic, the initial dose of Cibacen should be
reduced to 5mgin order to a
