You can use the drug at an initial dose of 5 mg if it is sufficient to control symptoms.

The course of treatment is determined by the doctor and depends on the course and duration of the disease and the individual sensitivity of the patient.

There is no need to reduce the dose for elderly patients in the absence of impaired renal function.
