Standard adult and adolescent (15 years and older) dosage is one 10mg tablet daily, taken in the evening. Children’s dosages vary significantly by age and weight. Always follow your doctor’s prescription meticulously.
Dosage for Children
For children aged 6-14 years, the typical dose is one 5mg chewable tablet daily, taken in the evening. Children under 6 years of age require a different dosage form and should be prescribed by a physician. Precise instructions, including the correct dosage form (tablet, granules), are crucial and will be provided by your child’s doctor based on their weight and specific needs.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for the next dose. Never double up on doses. Contact your doctor if you have questions regarding missed doses.
Adjusting Dosage
Your doctor may adjust your dose based on your response to treatment and any underlying health conditions. Do not modify your dosage without explicit instruction from your physician. Regular monitoring and adjustments are common, particularly in children.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects can include headache, abdominal pain, and nausea. Serious side effects are rare but should be reported to your physician immediately. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for a full list of potential side effects.
