Posology and method of administration

Posology

Adults and elderly

The recommended dose is 600 mg/day as single or divided doses.

Paediatric population

Safety and efficacy in subjects under 18 years of age have not been established.

Use in patients with renal or hepatic impairment

Clinical experience in patients with renal or hepatic impairment is limited, and special care is therefore recommended when treatment is started in this type of patients. In patients with end stage renal disease on conventional haemodialysis, pre- and post-dialysis plasma levels of the main triflusal metabolite, HTB (2-hydroxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid), have shown no significant changes, and no dose adjustment is therefore required.

Method of administration

Capsules are swallowed whole with a small amount of water.

Triflusal is recommended to be taken preferably with meals.

Overdose

No case of overdose has been reported.

In the event of an accidental overdose, which may only occur after the intake of very high doses, symptoms of salicylate poisoning may occur. If these occur, administration of the medicinal product should be discontinued and both symptomatic treatment and any required support measures should be started.

Shelf life
