Pristiq dose 2 - 25 mg daily or 225 mg? - cp
Posted: Aug 02, 2011
Hey all,
I am trying to figure out if Pristiq can be dosed at 225 mg? The website I use for dosing doesn't say that. The doctor says, "two twenty-five mg daily." He doesn't say two hundred and twenty-five mg daily. However, I see that Pristiq comes in 50 mg, so if the dose was 50 mg why would he say 2 - 25 mg? LOL! Just checking to see if anyone has an idea.
Thanks,
Chris
Standard dose is 50 mg qd, so it likely two 25 mg - nm

thanks - cp
[ In Reply To ..]No I'm not a student, and no you can't tell from the other drugs listed. I tried that (100, 200, 37.5, etc)! I can tell from looking up the drug info that the standard dose is 50 mg. From what I looked up it seems that it is a 50 mg tablet, so 25 confused me a little. I will question it.
Thanks for your time.
