How much to take

Take PAXAM exactly as directed by your doctor. Your doctor will tell you how many tablets you need to take each day and when to take them. The dose may depend on your age, your medical condition and whether or not you are taking any other medicines.

PAXAM is usually started using a low dose. Your doctor may gradually increase this dose to the lowest amount needed to control your condition depending on how well you respond to and tolerate the medicine.

The usual adult maintenance dose is between 4 mg and 8 mg a day.

Children, the elderly and people with liver or kidney problems may need smaller doses.
