Always follow your doctor’s instructions. Dosage depends on your specific needs and medical history. Typical dosages range from 15 mg to 30 mg, administered intramuscularly or intravenously.
Intramuscular (IM) Injection: A single dose of 30mg is often used for initial pain relief. Your doctor may adjust this based on your response. Repeat doses are typically spaced several hours apart and rarely exceed 60mg within 24 hours.
Intravenous (IV) Injection: The initial IV dose is usually 15 mg. This can be followed by subsequent doses of 15 mg every 6 hours, depending on pain management requirements. The maximum daily dose should not surpass 90 mg.
Important Note: Patients with impaired renal function require adjusted dosages. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate reduction in dosage based on your kidney function.
