POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The dosage is adjusted acc. to the individual response and the
clinical effect.
_The following dosage guidelines should be followed: _
As a rule, the effective hypnotic dose is between 0.15 and 0.3 mg of
etomidate per kg
body weight, corresponding to 0.075 to 0.15 ml of Etomidate-Lipuro per
kg body

Children up to the age of 15 and elderly patients are given a single
dose of 0.15 to 0.2
mg of etomidate, corresponding to 0.075 to 0.1 ml of Etomidate-Lipuro

weight. Also in patients belonging to these age groups, the exact
dosage has to be
adjusted acc. to the clinical effect. In children up to the age of 15
the dosage may be
increased by up to 30 % of the adult dose because it is sometimes
necessary in order
to obtain the same depth and duration of sleep.
Since etomidate has no analgesic action, appropriate analgesics should
be used in
procedures involving painful stimuli.
Do not exceed a total dose of 30 ml (3 ampoules). Etomidate should
only be given by
slow intravenous injection.
In patients with liver cirrhosis and patients having been premedicated
with
neuroleptics opioids or sedatives the dose has to be reduced.

serial epileptic
