Dosage Regimen

The method of application and dosage regimen for a specific drug depend on its form of release and other factors. The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the compliance of the dosage form of a specific drug with the indications for use and dosage regimen.

Administer orally with a small amount of water or sublingually on a piece of sugar.

For adults, use 10-15 drops per dose. For severe conditions, a single dose may be increased to 20-25 drops.

Take the drops 2-3 times per day. Adjust the frequency based on the severity of symptoms and individual patient response.

Limit the total duration of treatment to 10-15 days. Do not exceed this course without consulting a physician.

For sublingual administration, place the prescribed number of drops directly under the tongue or on a sugar cube and allow to dissolve completely.

Use the dropper provided with the bottle to ensure accurate dosing. Hold the dropper vertically for correct measurement.

Avoid operating vehicles or machinery after taking the drug due to potential drowsiness and dizziness.
