GlobalRPh RX List - OSMOLEX ER
- Product / population
- Amantadine - OSMOLEX ER tablets; selected source sections only, not a complete prescribing monograph.
- Renal measure
- eGFR, mL/min/1.73 m2; retain body-surface-area indexing. Table specifies MDRD; other passages instead say indexed CrCl.
RX mirror: this is not independent corroboration of its underlying label. Check dated-label and formulation limitations.
Renal dosing, restrictions and evidence limits
The renal table changes frequency and minimum titration interval, not the stated initial or maximum dose size. Table measure is MDRD eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m2):
60-89: one dose every 24 hours; increase no more often than weekly.
30-59: one dose every 48 hours; increase no more often than every 3 weeks.
15-29: one dose every 96 hours; increase no more often than every 4 weeks.
Below 15: contraindicated.
Other sections call the measure indexed creatinine clearance. This terminology discrepancy remains flagged. Do not interpret the phrase maximum daily dosage as permission for daily administration in the reduced-frequency bands.
