Detailed Answer:
Hi Leroywilson,
Thanks for being on Health Care Magic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar, Neurologist,here to answer your query.

Typically at your age, it should be started at 0.25 mg two to three times a day. Maximum dose can go up to 4 mg per day in adults, but again in geriatric age group, it should be kept lower down. Daily dose also should be kept at minimum effective dose. So, I would suggest you to start it as 0.25 mg twice a day and observe for the response. If this does not bring adequate response, it can be increased with o.5 mg per day every 3-4 days.

PLEASE TAKE ANY MEDICINE UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF A PHYSICIAN ONLY.

If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.

Regards

Dr.Ajay Panwar,
MD,DM(Neurology)
