Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
For dermatitis herpetiformis: adults and adolescents: 250 milligrams to 1 gram four times a day until improvement occurs. After improvement has occurred, the dose should then be reduced by 250 to 500 milligrams every three days until there are no symptoms; that dose should be taken once daily. Children: use is not recommended, because children usually do not get this condition.
