Active Ingredient: Nabumetone
For use in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis requiring anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
For:
Oral, 1 grams nabumetone, once daily at the end of the day.
The recommended daily dose is 1 g taken as a single dose at bedtime.
For severe or persistent symptoms, or during acute exacerbations, an additional dose 500 mg – 1 g may be given as a morning dose.
Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms.
In common with many drugs, blood levels may be higher in elderly patients. The recommended daily dose of 1 g should not be exceeded in this age group and in some cases 500 mg may give satisfactory relief.
The elderly are at increased risk of the serious consequences of adverse reactions. If an NSAID is considered necessary, the lowest dose should be used and for the shortest duration. The patient should be monitored regularly for gastrointestinal bleeding during NSAID therapy.
Taken at bedtime.
Should be taken preferably with or after food.
