Anadrol-50 Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Oxymetholone
Anadrol-50 Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Oxymetholone
INDICATIONS
ANADROL-50 is indicated in the treatment
of anemias caused by deficient red cell
production. Acquired aplastic anemia,
congenital aplastic
anemia, myelofibrosis and the hypoplastic anemias due to the administration
of myelotoxic drugs often respond. ANADROL-50 should not replace
other supportive measures such
as transfusion, correction
of iron, folic acid,
vitamin B12
or pyridoxine deficiency, antibacterial
therapy and the appropriate
use of corticosteroids.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The recommended daily dose
in children and adults is 1-5 mg/kg body weight per
day. The usual effective dose
is 1-2 mg/kg/day but higher doses may be required, and the dose
should be individualized. Response is not often immediate, and a
minimum trial of three
to six months should be given. Following remission, some patients
may be maintained without the drug; others may be maintained on
an established lower daily dosage. A continued maintenance dose
is usually necessary in patients with congenital
aplastic anemia.
