Dosing and Administration
The recommended starting dose is 1,000 mg taken as a
single dose with or without food. Some patients may obtain more symptomatic relief from 1,500 mg to
2,000 mg per day. RELAFEN can be given in either a single or twice-daily dose. Dosages greater than
2,000 mg per day have not been studied. The lowest effective dose should be used for chronic
treatment. Caution should be used in prescribing RELAFEN to patients with
moderate or severe renal insufficiency. The maximum starting doses of RELAFEN in patients with
moderate or severe renal insufficiency should not exceed 750 mg or 500 mg, respectively once daily.
Following careful monitoring of renal function in patients with moderate or severe renal insufficiency,
daily doses may be increased to a maximum of 1,500 mg and 1,000 mg, respectively
