SUNOSI - official renal dose and monitoring check
- Product / population
- SUNOSI - official renal dose and monitoring check; selected renal passages, not a complete prescribing monograph.
- Renal measure
- eGFR in mL/min/1.73 m2; preserve body-surface-area indexing.
Renal dosing, restrictions and evidence limits
At eGFR 30-59 mL/min/1.73 m2, begin 37.5 mg once daily; maximum 75 mg once daily after at least 7 days if appropriate. At eGFR 15-29, use 37.5 mg once daily as both starting and maximum dose. Below 15, use is not recommended. Moderate/severe impairment increases the risk of blood-pressure, heart-rate and psychiatric adverse effects because half-life is prolonged. Control hypertension before treatment and monitor blood pressure regularly; monitor psychiatric symptoms. Do not convert a longer half-life into an unlisted dialysis or alternate-day regimen.
