How should I use Parsitan?
The recommended adult dose of ethopropazine ranges from 100 mg to 500 mg daily in 2 or 3 divided doses with or without food. For control of tremor and restlessness associated with some medications, the usual dose to control symptoms is 100 mg twice daily. For treatment of Parkinson's disease, the medication is usually started at a lower dose (e.g., 50 mg three times daily) and gradually increased until relief of symptoms occurs.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a different dose than the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is very important that Parsitan be taken on a regular schedule as prescribed by the doctor. If you miss a dose of Parsitan, take it as soon as you remember it. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and carry on with your regular schedule. Do not double-up on doses.
