Hi! Welcome to health care magic!

Dosing depends upon the condition for which it has been prescribed, but usual daily dosing is upto 225mg for extended releases aka XR and 375mg per day in divided Doses. But the doses are increases gradually, with usually start at 75mg per day and then gradual increase after every few days if effects are not achieved and any side effects are not observed.
