Section 2.2; discontinuation context
Mild impairment requires no adjustment; use caution in moderate impairment. At CrCl 5-29 mL/min, reduce maintenance to 25 mg twice daily; depending on response it may increase to 50 mg twice daily. ESRD use is not recommended. This is maintenance guidance, not an instruction to skip initial titration. Monitor tolerability and taper after extended use.
