A total dose of 4 g daily (4 sachets) should not be exceeded. Treatment with this medicine should not be initiated until menstrual bleeding has started. Special populations: Renal impairment: By extrapolation from clearance data relating to the intravenous dosage form, the following reduction in the oral dosage is recommended for patients with mild to moderate renal insufficiency.

The maximum dose at each administration in subjects with renal impairment is 1000 mg. Therefore, do not use more than 1 sachet per dose.
