POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_ _
_Adults_
4 g (one sachet) three times per day.
The recommended schedule is 4 g every 8 hours. GRANUPAS can be taken
with food.
Maximum daily dose is 12 g. Usual duration of treatment is 24 months.
_Desensitization_
Desensitization can be accomplished by starting with 10 mg
para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS) given as
a single dose. The dosage is doubled every 2 days until reaching a
total of 1 gram after which the
dosage is divided to follow the regular schedule of administration. If
a mild temperature rise or
skin reaction develops, the increment is to be dropped back one level
or the progression held for one
cycle. Reactions are rare after a total dosage of 1.5 g.
_Paediatric population_
The optimal dose regimen in children is uncertain. Limited
pharmacokinetic data suggest no
substantial difference between adults and children.
For infants, children and adolescents the dosage will be adapted to
the patient’s weight at 150 mg/kg
per day, divided in two intakes. A dosing spoon is provided to measure
small doses below 4 g
for young children.
The safety and efficacy of para-aminosalicylic acid in neonates have
not been established. No da
