Further investigation into the cause of the diarrhoea should be considered if there is no improvement within two days of starting treatment with Salvacolina.
Chronic diarrhoea
| Adults: | Patients may need widely differing amounts of Salvacolina. The starting dose should be between four and eight 5 ml doses per day in divided doses, depending on severity. If required this dose can be adjusted up to a maximum of sixteen 5 ml doses daily. Having established the patient's daily maintenance dose, Salvacolina may be administered on a twice daily regimen. Tolerance has not been observed and therefore subsequent dosage adjustment should be unnecessary. |
