Kamiren XL Dosage/Direction for Use

Kamiren XL modified-release tablets should be ingested whole with some liquid. They should not be chewed, broken or crushed (see also Precautions). Patients may take the drug before, during or after a meal.
Hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia: The usual dose of Kamiren XL is 1 tablet (4 mg) daily. Its effect can be seen already on the first day but the full effect occurs after 4 weeks of treatment. A daily dose of 4 mg is effective in the majority of patients. If the effect after 4 weeks of treatment is inadequate and if the patient tolerates the drug well, a higher dose of the drug may be administered. The maximum recommended dose is 2 tablets (8 mg) once daily.
No dosage adjustments are required in elderly patients and patients with renal impairment.
In patients with liver impairment, caution should be used (see also Precautions).
Paediatric population: The safety and efficacy of Kamiren XL in children and adolescents have not been established.
If the patient has missed a dose, the patient should leave it out and go back to the regular dosing schedule.
