My doctor started me on Requip .25 mg 3 times per day.? After one week, I start taking 0.50 mg 3 times daily, then at 0.75 mg three times a day until I reach the 1 mg tablets, then I take a tablet 3 times a day, I noticed that online, he said one tablet a day, I am an overdose, should I talk to my doctor. Or maybe I should trust him, but he seems much more the usual dose.
The recommended starting dose is 0.25 mg Requip 3 times per day during the first week.
Week 2: 0.5 mg 3 times daily.
Week 3: 0.75 mg 3 times daily
Week 4: e 1mg once a day
After four weeks, it can be further increased by 1.5 mg per day per week up to 9 mg per day. Then, once you are in this dose may be titrated to 24 mg per day.
Thus, the dosage is correct for Parkinson's disease. If you do not have Parkinson's and take it for restless legs syndrome, the dosage is incorrect. In this case, return to your doctor.
