* Individualization of dose with careful weekly titration is required. The 1st week’s starting dose is 12.5 mg daily; 2nd week, 25 mg (12.5 mg twice daily); then slowly titrate at weekly intervals by 12.5 mg to a tolerated dose that reduces chorea.
* Doses of 37.5 mg and up to 50 mg/day should be administered in three divided doses per day with a maximum recommended single dose not to exceed 25 mg.
* Patients requiring doses above 50 mg/day should be genotyped for the drug metabolizing enzyme CYP2D6 to determine if the patient is a poor metabolizer (PM) or an extensive metabolizer (EM).
* Maximum daily dose in EMs and intermediate metabolizers (IMs): 100 mg with a maximum single dose of 37.5 mg
* If serious adverse reactions occur, titration should be stopped and the dose should be reduced. If the adverse reaction(s) do not resolve, consider withdrawal of XENAZINE.
