starting dose:
None (48) ·
15 mg PO at bedtime, titrate to 30-45 mg/day after 1-2 weeks. '''Counterintuitive dose paradox''': lower doses (7.5-15 mg) are more sedating than higher doses because H1 antihistamine effect dominates at low dose (1) ·
Anxiety: 25-50 mg PO QID. Pruritus: 25 mg PO TID-QID. Insomnia: 25-50 mg PO at bedtime. Pediatric: 50-100 mg/day divided (1) ·
