The doctor will determine what dose is appropriate for the patient. Rewisca is for oral use only.
Peripheral and central neuropathic pain, epilepsy or Generalised Anxiety Disorder: Take the number of capsules as instructed by the doctor.
The dose, which has been adjusted for the patient and the condition, will generally be between 150 mg and 600 mg each day.
The doctor will tell the patient to take Rewisca either twice or three times a day. For twice a day, Rewisca should be taken once in the morning and once in the evening, at about the same time each day. For three times a day, Rewisca should be taken once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening, at about the same time each day.
If the patient has the impression that the effect of Rewisca is too strong or too weak, he/she should talk to the doctor or pharmacist.
If the patient is elderly (over 65 years of age), he/she should take Rewisca normally except if having problems with the kidneys.
The doctor may prescribe a different dosing schedule and/or dose if having problems with the kidneys.
Swallow the capsule whole with water.
Continue taking Rewisca until the doctor tells to stop.
If the patient forgets to take Rewisca: It is important to take Rewisca capsules regularly at the same time each day. If the patient forgets to take a dose, it should be taken as soon as it is remembered unless it is time for the next dose. In that case, the patient should just carry on with the next dose as normal. A double dose should not be taken to make up for a forgotten dose.
If the patient stops taking Rewisca: Do not stop taking Rewisca unless told by the doctor. If treatment is stopped, it should be done gradually over a minimum of 1 week.
After stopping long- and short-term Rewisca treatment, the patient needs to know that certain side effects may be experienced. These include trouble sleeping, headache, nausea, feeling anxious, diarrhoea, flu-like symptoms, convulsions, nervousness, depression, pain, sweating, and dizziness. These symptoms may occur more commonly or severely if the patient has been taking Rewisca for a longer period of time.
