4.1. THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
This medicinal product is for

4.2. POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Adults:
The initial dose depends on the nature of the symptoms.
In patients with predominantly negative symptoms (flattening of
affect, poverty of speech,
anergia, apathy, as well as depression) the usual starting dose is 400
mg twice daily. This can
be reduced to 200mg twice daily as a response occurs, increasing the
alerting effect of
sulpiride that occurs at lower doses.
In patients with predominantly positive symptoms (formal thought
disorder, hallucinations,
delusions, incongruity of affect) the usual starting dose is 400mg
twice daily increasing if
necessary to a suggested maximum of 1200mg twice daily.
In patients with positive and negative symptoms, with neither
predominating, a dose of
400mg-600mg twice daily is recommended.
Elderly:
Initially one quarter to one half of the adult dose.
Children:
Clinical experience in children under 14 years of age is insufficient
to permit specific
recommendations.
Renal impairment:
The dosage should be reduced or the dosage interval increased.
