Topics List
New comprehensive downloadable medication sheet
  • Additional information on this drug and how to use it.
  • A starting point for discussion with your doctor.
  • Answers to frequently asked questions.

Lower initial doses and caution in titration are required. Maintenance doses should be reduced, dosing intervals increased, or both in seniors with reduced creatinine clearance.
