ADULT DOSE:

Antirheumatic (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory) -Oral, initially 25 or 50 mg two to four times a day; if well tolerated, the dosage per day may be increased by 25 or 50 mg at weekly intervals until a satisfactory response is obtained or up to a maximum dose of 200 mg per day. After a satisfactory response has been achieved, dosage should be reduced to the lowest dose that provides continuing control of symptoms. Note: In acute flare-ups of rheumatoid arthritis, dosage may be increased by 25 or 50 mg daily, as needed and tolerated. For those arthritic patients who have persistent night pain and/or morning stiffness, up to 100 mg of the total daily dose may be given at bedtime. Lower bedtime doses may not provide adequate symptomatic relief. A daily dose of less than 75 mg may not be effective in active inflammatory disease. A daily dose of more than 150 to 200 mg may increase the risk of adverse effects without providing additional clinical benefit. Antigout agent-Oral, 100 mg initially, then 50 mg three times a day until pain is relieved, with the dosage then being reduced until medication is discontinued. Anti-inflammatory (nonsteroidal) -75 to 150 mg per day in three or four divided doses. Note: When used to treat conditions not requiring chronic therapy, such as acute bursitis or tendinitis of the shoulder, indomethacin should be discontinued when symptoms of inflammation have been controlled for several days. The usual length of treatment is 7 to 14 days. [Antipyretic ] -Oral, 25 or 50 mg three or four times a day.

 

MAXIMUM ADULT DOSE:

Oral, 200 mg a day.

 

PEDIATRIC DOSE:
