To be taken orally 15-30 minutes after breakfast and lunch. Can be taken by children from 3 years old upwards. For adults: Single dose 250-1000 mg, daily dose 1500-3000 mg. For children: Single dose 250-500 mg, daily dose 750-2000 mg. Course of treatment is 1-4 months, sometimes 6 months. A break of 3-6 months is required between courses of treatment.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Hopantenic acid inhibits the absorption of [14C]-GABA (0.2 uM) by the rat brain cortex slices (3 mm) incubated in calcium-free medium. The effect of Hopantenic acid manifests at its low concentrations (10(-6) M).
