spondylitis,
musculoskeletal disorders and trauma such as periarthritis, frozen

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
For oral administration. To be taken preferably with or after food.
Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the lowest effective
dose for
the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms (see Section 4.4).

For dysmenorrhoea, a dosage of 100 mg may be administered at the start
of
symptoms followed by 50 or 100 mg given at four- to six-hour
intervals. The
maximum total daily dosage should not exceed 300 mg.
