Sheila:
Are you certain about the dosage of Requip?
It was my understanding that the FDA maximum recommended
dosage was 24 Mg and the Requip was to be titrated upward
slowly.
The drug manufacturer, SmithKline Beecham, recommended a
starting dosage of .25 Mg three times daily then titrated
at 0.25 Mg three times daily on weekly intervals.The maximum
recommended was 8 Mg three times daily.
