Sample Use Guides
The usual adult dose of floctafenine is 200 to 400 mg every 6 to 8 hours as required. The maximum recommended daily dose is 1200 mg.
Route of Administration:
Oral
The effects of floctafenine and its active metabolite on platelet COX-1, monocyte and 5-LO activities of whole blood in vitro were assessed by incubating increasing concentrations of floctafenine or floctafenic acid (0.001-100 mM) with peripheral whole blood samples drawn from healthy volunteers.
