RX mirror: this is not independent corroboration of its underlying label. Check dated-label and formulation limitations.
Selected sections only; not a complete prescribing monograph or independent clinician approval.
A hosted label mirror is not independent corroboration of its underlying label. Official confirmation remains pending unless a separate official card is shown.
Renal dosing, restrictions and evidence limits
For ESRD patients on hemodialysis, the mirror specifies a starting dose of 10-20 mg/kg of dry body weight after each dialysis session, injected into the venous return line over 2-3 minutes. Guide subsequent adjustment with pre-dialysis trough levocarnitine concentrations; a reduction to 5 mg/kg after dialysis may be considered as early as weeks 3-4.
This is indication-specific injectable replacement therapy, not a general renal reduction or an oral-equivalent dose. Confirm deficiency, concentration monitoring, tolerance and the dialysis schedule. The source is an April 2018 mirror; official-label currency remains unconfirmed in this pass.
