Dosage & Administration

• Controlled Release (SR/CR): The SR formulation provides a steady release of the medicine into your bloodstream, which helps maintain consistent drug levels and reduces side effects.
• How to take: Tablets should be swallowed whole (do not crush or chew) and are typically taken with or after food to prevent stomach upset.
• Dosing: Dosage is highly individualized. It is determined and adjusted gradually by your doctor based on your age, body weight, condition, and blood plasma levels.
