Imuprin Dosage/Direction for Use

Transplantation - adults and children: Depending on the immunosuppressive regimen employed, a dosage of up to 5mg/kg body weight/day may be given on the first day of therapy.
Maintenance dosage should range from 1 to 4mg/kg body weight/day and must be adjusted according to clinical requirements and haematological tolerance. Imuprin therapy should be maintained indefinitely, even if only low doses are necessary because of the risk of graft rejection.
Dosage in other conditions - adults and children: In general, starting dosage is from 1 to 3mg/kg body weight/day, and should be adjusted, within these limits, depending on the clinical response and haematological tolerance.
The maintenance dosage required may range from less than 1mg/kg body weight/day to 3mg/kg body weight/day, depending on the clinical condition being treated and the individual patient response.
In patients with renal and/or hepatic insufficiency, dosages should be given at the lower end of the normal range.
Elderly: Dosage should be at the low end of the range.
If the patient forgot to take Imuprin: If the patient forgot to take a dose, take the missed dose as soon as possible. However, if it almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to the regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. Consult the doctor in case the patient missed more than one dose.
