For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Oral
25 - 150 mg
From 12.5 To 75 mg 2 time(s) per day every day for 180 day(s)
Initially 10 mg–25 mg daily. The daily dose may be increased up to 100 mg–150 mg divided into two doses, depending on individual patient response and tolerability. Doses above 100 mg should be used with caution.
