Taverin

Adults:

The usual adult dose is 1 to 2 tablets three times daily, or 2 to 4 ml by injection given subcutaneously or intramuscularly one to three times daily. For acute stone colic, 2 to 4 ml may be given by slow intravenous injection; for peripheral arterial spasm or obstruction, Drotaverine HCl may be injected intra arterially. Children should be given smaller doses according to their age and body weight: once or twice daily, 1/4 to 1/2 tablet for children and 1/2 to 1 tablet daily for adolescents. In peptic ulcer, it is helpful to combine Drotaverine HCl with atropine or atropine like compounds.
