What is the dosage and administration of Compound Diazepam Tablets?
Recently, I've been experiencing some neurasthenia and frequent insomnia. I'm considering medication for treatment, and a colleague recommended me Compound Diazepam Tablets. Could you please tell me the dosage and administration of Compound Diazepam Tablets?
Doctor's answer (1)
Compound Diazepam Tablets are primarily used to treat anxiety neurosis and neurasthenia. The dosage and administration must be determined according to the patient's specific condition and under the guidance of a physician.
1. Adults: The usual starting dose is 2.5-5 mg, taken 2-4 times daily. The dose may be gradually increased according to the patient's condition, up to a maximum daily dose of 10-20 mg.
2. Elderly patients or debilitated individuals: The initial dose should be halved, usually 1.25-2.5 mg, taken 2-3 times daily.
3. Children: Not recommended for children under 6 years of age. For children over 6 years old, the dosage should be adjusted by the physician according to body weight and clinical condition, generally not exceeding half of the adult dose.
4. Timing of administration: It is recommended to take the medication after meals to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.
The specific dosage of Compound Diazepam Tablets may vary due to individual differences, severity of the condition, and other factors. Therefore, it is essential to follow the physician's instructions when using this medication; do not adjust the dose or discontinue the medication on your own. Additionally, closely monitor for adverse reactions such as drowsiness, fatigue, headache, and seek medical attention promptly if any discomfort occurs.
