Begin with the lowest effective dose. Your doctor will determine the right dose for you based on your individual needs and response to treatment. Typical starting doses range from 25 mg to 50 mg twice daily.
Oral Administration: Swallow Betapace AF tablets whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or break them. Consistent intake is key–take your medication at approximately the same times each day.
Dosage Adjustments: Your physician might adjust your dose gradually, depending on your heart rate and blood pressure. Closely monitor your condition and report any significant changes to your doctor immediately. They may increase the dosage in increments of 25 mg twice daily, up to a maximum of 300 mg per day. However, higher doses are usually not recommended.
Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s nearly time for your next dose. Never take a double dose to make up for a missed one. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully for any specific guidance regarding missed doses.
Renal Impairment: Dosage reduction may be necessary for patients with impaired kidney function. Your doctor will make adjustments based on your specific creatinine clearance.
Hepatic Impairment: Betapace AF should be used cautiously in individuals with liver problems. Your doctor will carefully monitor your condition and may adjust the dose accordingly.
