The regimen for taking the drug is determined by age:
- Adults and children over 12 years old: 10 mg (1 tablet, 2 scoops of syrup or 20 drops) once a day;
- Children 6-12 years old: 10 mg (1 tablet, 2 scoops of syrup or 20 drops) 1 time per day or 5 mg (1/2 tablet, 1 scoop of syrup or 10 drops) 2 times a day (in the morning or evening time);
