Brief Answer:
Yes, the maximum dose is 1.5mg thrice daily!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This drug dosage can be increased up to 1.5mg thrice daily. If you have not received a full control of symptoms, there is room to increase further and I encourage you to do so. Also, discuss this with your doctor to make sure the refills are adjusted to cover for increased dosing.

I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more details if need be.
