POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The variation in optimum dosage from one patient to another should be
taken into consideration
by the physician.
_Dosage in adults: _
_ _
_Parkinson's disease: _
_ _
Treatment is usually started at 2.5 mg procyclidine three times per
day, increasing by 2.5 to 5
mg per day at intervals of two or three days until the optimum
clinical response is achieved.
The usual maintenance dose to achieve optimal response is 15 to 30 mg
procyclidine per day.
Addition of a fourth dose before retiring has been seen to be
beneficial in some patients.
Doses up
to 60 mg procyclidine have been well tolerated,
and at the discretion of the attending physician
dosing to this level may be appropriate.
In general, younger patients or those with postencephalitic
parkinsonism may require higher
doses for a therapeutic response than older patients and those with
arteriosclerotic
parkinsonism.
_Paediatric population _
_ _
The use of Kemadrin in this age group is not recommended.

_Method of administration _
Oral administration may be better tolerated if associated with a meal.
Tablets can be divided into equal doses.
