CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis.
4.2
DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
After assessing the risk/benefit ratio in each individual patient, the
lowest effective dose for
the shortest possible duration should be used (see Section 4.4 Special
warnings and precautions
for use). Patients on long term treatment should be reviewed regularly
with regards to efficacy,
risk factors and ongoing need for treatment.
ORUDIS SUPPOSITORIES:
Normal suppository dosage is 1 suppository (100 mg) late at night
supplemented as required with Orudis capsules during daytime.
Orudis suppositories are especially appropriate for controlling
overnight symptoms (severity
of
night
and
morning
pain;
duration
and
severity
of
morning
stiffness).
Suppositories
administered late at night provide more consistent effective control
of overnight symptoms
than oral medication.
ORUDIS SR (SUSTAINED RELEASE) CAPSULES:
100 to 200 mg once daily depending on the
patient’s weight and on the severity of symptoms. Orudis SR should
be taken with food.
