ADULT DOSE:
|
|
Antianginal or
[Antihypertensive] -Essential hypertension: Oral, initially 10 mg three times a day, the dosage being increased over a seven- to fourteen-day period as needed and tolerated.
Note: For hospitalized patients under close supervision, dosage may be increased by 10-mg increments over four- to six-hour periods until symptoms are controlled.
When justified by symptom frequency and/or severity, dosage titration may be accomplished over a three-day period (medication given three times a day and increased stepwise from 10 mg to 20 mg, then to 30 mg per dose as needed and tolerated), but only if the patient is monitored frequently.
Geriatric patients may be more sensitive to the effects of the usual adult dose. |
