Usage/Dosage
-
If you have never taken levodopa before: In general, for adults, the initial dose is started at 100 to 125 mg of levodopa at a time, 100 to 300 mg daily, and the dose is increased by 100 to 125 mg every day or every other day, then the optimal dose is determined as the maintenance dose (standard dose is 200 to 250 mg of levodopa at a time, 3 times daily).
If you have been taking levodopa: In general, for adults, take at least 8-hour interval after taking levodopa alone, the initial dose is determined based on equivalent to one fifth of levodopa of the daily maintenance dose, and take it in 3 divided doses daily.
The dosage may be adjusted according to the symptoms in any case, however, the daily dose should not be exceeded 1,500 mg of levodopa. This preparation contains 100 mg of levodopa in a tablet. Strictly follow the instructions.
If you miss a dose, take a dose as soon as possible when you remembered that you missed a dose. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. You should never take two doses at one time.
If you accidentally take more than your prescribed dose, consult with your doctor or pharmacist.
Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor instructs you to do so.
