Dosage

Always take the medicine exactly as directed.Please ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.Unless otherwise prescribed by the doctor, the usual dose for the symptomatic treatment of organic brain-related performance disorders is 1 - 2 tablets 3 times a day.To extend pain-free walking distance in cases of peripheral arterial disease and dizziness and ringing in the ears of vascular and involutive origin, the usual dose is 1½ - 2 tablets twice daily.

In the case of performance disorders caused by organic brain disorders, the duration of treatment should be at least 8 weeks.After a treatment period of 3 months, the doctor must check whether continued treatment is still justified.In the case of arterial occlusive disease in the limbs, an improvement in walking distance requires a treatment period of at least 6 weeks.In the case of dizziness, use over a period longer than 6 to 8 weeks does not improve the treatment result.If you have ringing in the ears, supportive treatment should last for at least 12 weeks.If there is no success after 6 months, this can no longer be expected even with longer treatment.

If you take more medicine than you should, please notify a doctor.Next time, do not take a double dose if you forget to take it, but continue taking it as prescribed by your doctor or as described here.
