CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1.
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
For the relief of moderate to severe pain.
4.2.
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Prior to starting treatment with opioids, a discussion should be held
with
patients to put in place a strategy for ending treatment with
pentazocine
hydrochloride in order to minimise the risk of addiction and drug
withdrawal
syndrome (see section 4.4).
Posology
The dosage is usually tailored to the individual patient and to the
severity of
the pain.
_ _
_Adults_
The usual initial dosage is two 25 mg tablets (50mg) every four hours
after
meals followed by 25mg to 100mg of pentozocine every three to four
hours.
_ _
_Elderly _
Since impaired renal or hepatic function is often associated with
ageing,
elderly patients may require smaller doses of pentazocine.
_ _
_Paediatric population _
_6-12 years:_ One 25mg tablet every three to four hours as necessary.
Pentazocine tablets are not recommended for children under 6 years of
age. No data are available.
