Adults: The recommended dosage is 1200-1800 mg daily in 3-4 divided doses preferably after food; some patients can be maintained on 600-1200 mg daily. In severe or acute conditions the dose can be increased until the acute phase is brought under control; the total daily dosage should not exceed 2400 mg in divided doses.
Children: Daily dosage is 20 mg/kg of body weight in divided doses.
Not recommended for children under 7 kg weight. In juvenile rheumatoid arthritis up to 40 mg/kg body weight daily in divided doses may be taken.
Elderly: No special dosage modifications, unless renal or hepatic function is impaired, in which case dosage should be assessed individually. Owing to the increased susceptibility of the elderly to side effects of NSAID's, they should be recommended only after other forms of treatment have been carefully considered.
Brumed should be used at the lowest effective dose for shortest possible time.
