A starting dose of 2 mg ephedrine HCl per kg of bodyweight per day, divided in two oral doses is recommended.
Desired therapeutic effect and occurrence of adverse effects have to be monitored approximately at 14 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after the start. Based on the observed effect in comparison with the expected effect and taking into account the occurrence of adverse effects, the individual dose should be adjusted. The dose should be adjusted to find the lowest effective dose. Once the effective dose has been established, dogs should still be monitored at regular intervals, e.g. every six months.
The product should be administered before meals in a piece of food.
A maximum dose of 5 mg/ kg of bodyweight per day has to be respected.
