Prelone Dosage/Direction for Use

Oral administration.
Dosage of Prelone Syrup should be individualized according to the severity of the diseases and the response of the patient. For infants and children, the recommended dosage should be governed by the same consideration rather than strict adherence to the ratio indicated by age or body. The initial dosage of Prelone Syrup may vary from 5mg to 60mg daily in divided doses, as a single daily dose after breakfast or as a double dose on alternate days depending on the specific disease entity being treated. In situation of less severity lower doses will generally suffice while in selected patients higher initial doses may be required. The initial dosage should be maintained or adjusted until a satisfactory response is noted. After a favourable response is noted, the proper maintenance dosage should be determined by decreasing the initial drug dosage in small decrements at appropriate time intervals until the lowest dosage which will maintain an adequate clinical response is reached. If after long-term therapy the drug is to be stopped, it is recommended that is be withdrawn gradually better than abruptly. Constant monitoring is required in regard to drug dosage.
