What is the recommended dosage of Concerta for a 92-pound person?
The recommanded dosage is always the lowest working dose. If 18mg allows good results, then it is the correct dosage. We start at a low dose, and we increased if we don't get any result after a week trial. Blood volume, brain chemistry and metabolism are the basic determining factors for what dose is ineffective, effective or "high". Concerta is available in 18mg, 27mg, 36mg, 54mg and 72mg extended release capsules. 18mg is the common starting dose for children and 18mg to 36mg for adults depending on discretion of the doctor. The maximum dosage of Concerta should not be greater than 0.9 mg per pound of body weight. For people switching to Concerta from Ritalin, the dosage requires careful consideration because 18mg of Concerta is much different then 18mg of Ritalin due to Concerta's precision time release mechanism. The following chart outlines the dosage equivalents. 18 mg Concerta = 4 mg Ritalin 3 times per day 27 mg Concerta = 6 mg Ritalin 3 times per day 36 mg Concerta = 8 mg Ritalin 3 times per day 54 mg Concerta = 12 mg Ritalin 3 times per day
What is the mg usually perscribed for a 127lb adult femaleon Concerta?
Although weight does play a part in the dosage prescribed it is not a huge influence, a woman weighing 127 pounds would usually get prescribed a dose of 18/27mg, however if the symptoms were more severe for whatever condition concerta is taken for then the dose may be in the upper limit of 36/54mg
Is 54 mg of Concerta to much to start out with?
Nope, that's what I was prescribed originally... With a 10mg Ritalin "booster." Yes 54mg of Concerta is too much for the initial dose. Over 6 years the recommended initial dose is 18mg once daily in the morning, increased if necessary in weekly steps of 18mg according to response to a maximum dose of 54mg daily. So you have been prescribed the maximum daily dose starting off. Starting on a lower strength would be more advisable in my opinion. Pharmacist in training Reference from BNF 56 Sept 2008
Does Concerta cause low blood pressure?
