Adalat GITS 30 Dosage/Direction for Use

As much as possible, the treatment must be tailored to the needs of the individual.
Depending on the clinical picture in each case, the basic dose must be introduced gradually. In patients with impaired liver function, careful monitoring and, in severe cases, a dose reduction may be necessary.
Unless otherwise prescribed, the following dosage guidelines are recommended for adults.
