Acyclovir 400 mg Tablets
Acyclovir 800 mg Tablets
Indications And Usage
FELODIPINE is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure lowers the risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.
Dosage And Amininstration
The recommended starting dose is 5 mg once a day. Depending on the patient’s response, the dosage can be decreased to 2.5 mg or increased to 10 mg once a day. These adjustments should occur generally at intervals of not less than 2 weeks. The recommended dosage range is 2.5–10mg once daily. In clinical trials, doses above 10 mg daily showed an increased blood pressure response but a large increase in the rate of peripheral edema and other vasodilatory adverse events (see ADVERSE REACTIONS). Modification of the recommended dosage is usually not required in patients with renal impairment.
FELODIPINE should regularly be taken either without food or with a light meal (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism). FELODIPINE should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed.
Geriatric Use—Patients over 65 years of age are likely to develop higher plasma concentrations of felodipine (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY). In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range (2.5 mg daily).
Elderly patients should have their blood pressure closely monitored during any dosage adjustment.
Patients with Impaired Liver Function—Patients with impaired liver function may have elevated plasma concentrations of felodipine and may respond to lower doses of PLENDIL; therefore,patients should have their blood pressure monitored closely during dosage adjustment of FELODIPINE (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY).

Dosage And Amininstration
Hypertension: Initial adult dose is 10 mg once daily. Titrate up to 40 mg daily based on blood pressure response. Initiate patients on diuretics at 5 mg once daily.
Pediatric patients with glomerular filtration rate > 30 mL/min/1.73m 2: Initial dose in patients 6 years of age and older is 0.07 mg per kg (up to 5 mg total) once daily.
Heart Failure: Initiate with 5 mg once daily. Increase dose as tolerated to 40 mg daily.
Acute Myocardial Infarction (MI): Give 5 mg within 24 hours of MI followed by 5 mg after 24 hours, then 10 mg once daily.
Renal Impairment: For patients with creatinine clearance ≥ 10 mL/min and ≤ 30 mL/min, halve usual initial dose. For patients with creatinine clearance < 10 mL/min or on hemodialysis, the recommended initial dose is 2.5 mg.
