Copy is optional; the link can be selected and copied manually. No patient data or dose decision is collected.
Clinical context remains essential
Independent clinical review is pending. Confirm indication, exact formulation/route, population, renal measure and units, kidney-function stability, dialysis prescription, interacting drugs, monitoring and source revision. An RX mirror and its original label are not independent corroboration. Missing disagreement notes do not certify agreement.
The original QTc phrase >15% of baseline is ambiguous and is preserved rather than silently converted to a current-label algorithm. This excerpt alone is not the complete monitored initiation protocol.

Read the retained text before reformatting
Initial oral doses by calculated CrCl are 500 mcg twice daily above 60, 250 mcg twice daily at 40-60, and 125 mcg twice daily at 20 to below 40 mL/min. Below 20, use is contraindicated. Initiate or reinitiate with inpatient continuous ECG monitoring for at least three days. Follow the label's baseline and post-dose QT algorithm, interaction exclusions, and electrolyte checks.
