Brief Answer:
three times a day unless special conditions apply

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

the usual dosage is 4mg three times per day unless you've got renal or liver problems. The dosage should be adjusted for renal problems according to the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Patients with serious liver problems should avoid this drug.

I hope you find my comments helpful!
