The duration of treatment is determined individually, depending on the indications and the effectiveness of the therapy. After 2 weeks of using the drug, you should consult your doctor.
Enteric-coated tablets
Diclogen should be taken by mouth by swallowing the tablets whole and drinking plenty of water. To quickly achieve a therapeutic effect, it is recommended to take the drug 30 minutes before meals, in other cases - during or after meals.
Adults are prescribed 1 tablet 2-3 times a day. After achieving the optimal therapeutic effect, the dose is gradually reduced and the patient is transferred to maintenance therapy in a daily dose of 50 mg (1 tablet).
Children over 12 years of age are prescribed no more than 2 mg / kg of body weight. In juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, the dose may be increased to 3 mg / kg.
