The dose of the drug and the duration of treatment are selected individually, depending on the clinical picture of the disease.

Elderly patients. Elderly patients do not need dose adjustment.

Administration of the drug through a nasogastric tube

When prescribing the drug through a nasogastric tube, it is necessary:

1. Open the capsule and pour the contents of the capsule into a special syringe. Add 25 ml of drinking water and about 5 ml of air to the syringe. For some probes, it may be necessary to dilute the drug in 50 ml of drinking water in order to prevent the pellets contained in the capsule from clogging the probe.

2. After adding water, immediately shake the syringe until a suspension is obtained.

3. Make sure the tip is not clogged (by pushing the plunger slightly while holding the syringe tip up).

4. Insert the tip of the syringe into the probe while continuing to keep it pointing up.

5. Shake the syringe and turn it upside down. Immediately inject 5-10 ml of the dissolved drug into the tube. After injecting the solution, return the syringe to its original position and shake it (the syringe must be held with the tip up to avoid clogging of the tip).

6. Lower the syringe again with the tip down and inject another 5-10 ml of solution into the probe. Repeat the procedure until the syringe is empty.

7. In case of residual part of the drug in the form of sediment in the syringe: fill the syringe with 25 ml of water and 5 ml of air and repeat the procedures described in points 5 and 6. For some probes, 50 ml of drinking water may be required for this purpose.
