Dosing

4.2 Posology and method of administration

Treatment should be initiated by a healthcare professional experienced in the management of patients with haematological disorders.

The recommended starting dose is 150 mg three times a day administered orally, approximately 8 hours apart (± 2 hours). Dose can be increased to 200 mg three times a day after a minimum of 4 weeks of treatment depending on clinical response.

Missed doses

If a dose is missed, patients should be advised to take it as soon as it is remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose in which case patients should skip the missed dose and take the medicinal product at the next regularly scheduled time. Patients should be advised not to take 2 doses or more at the same time.

Discontinuation

Due to the possibility of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevations after treatment cessation (see section 4.4 – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information), if treatment is discontinued, the dose should be tapered over a 6-day period until complete cessation, as follows:

• 100 mg regimen: 100 mg twice a day for 3 days, followed by 100 mg once a day for 3 days.

• 150 mg regimen: 100 mg three times a day for 3 days, followed by 50 mg three times a day for 3 days.
