Nalfon Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Fenoprofen
Nalfon Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Fenoprofen
INDICATIONS
AND USES
Nalfon is indicated for relief of the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
and osteoarthritis. It is recommended for the treatment of acute flare-ups and
exacerbations and for the long-term management of these diseases.
Nalfon is also indicated for the relief of mild to moderate pain.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Analgesia For the treatment of mild to moderate pain, the recommended
dosage is 200 mg every 4 to 6 hours, as needed.
Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis The suggested dosage
is 300 to 600 mg, 3 or 4 times a day. The dose should be tailored to the needs
of the patient and may be increased or decreased depending on the severity of
the symptoms. Dosage adjustments may be made after initiation of drug therapy
or during exacerbations of the disease. Total daily dosage should not exceed
3,200 mg.
If gastrointestinal complaints occur, Nalfon may be administered with meals
or with milk. Although the total amount absorbed is not affected, peak blood
levels are delayed and diminished.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis generally seem to require larger doses of
Nalfon than do those with osteoarthritis. The smallest dose that yields acceptable
control should be employed.
Although improvement may be seen in a few days in many patients, an additional
2 to 3 weeks may be required to gauge the full benefits of therapy.
