Child: 1 mg/kg weekly. Max: 50 mg weekly. Calculated initial weekly dose may be preceded by a smaller test dose such as 1/10 or 1/5 of the full dose for 2-3 weeks. Continue weekly doses until signs of remission occur then increase dosage intervals to 2 weeks. With full remission, dosage interval may be increased gradually to 4 weeks. If no improvement after 20 weeks, dose may be raised slightly or another antirheumatic drug may be tried.

Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Sodium aurothiomalate is a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug, used in patients whose symptoms are unresponsive to or inadequately controlled by NSAID alone. The exact mechanism of action has not been established, but its predominant action appears to be a suppressive effect on the synovitis of active rheumatoid disease. It may act by altering function of other enzymes by inhibiting lysosomal enzymes, by suppressing phagocytic activity of macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes, or by altering immune response. Onset: Delayed; may require up to 3 mth. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Readily absorbed after IM inj. Time to peak serum concentration: 4-6 hr. Distribution: Widely distributed in body tissues and fluids. Crosses placenta and enters breast milk. Plasma protein binding: 85-95%. Excretion: Via urine (60%-90%) and faeces (10%-40%). Elimination half-life: Approx 5-6 days.
