Mogadon Tablets are not for use in anyone under 18 years of age.
PRECAUTIONS
Do not drive or operate machinery if you experience any of these side effects. Mogadon Tablets may cause side effects such as reduced alertness, confusion, tiredness, dizziness, poor muscle co-ordination and double vision. This may affect your ability to drive and operate machinery.
DOSAGE
Always take Mogadon exactly as your physician has told you. Do not change the prescribed dosage of Mogadon yourself. You should check with your physician if you are not sure how to take this medicine. If you think that the effect of Mogadon is too weak or too strong, talk to your physician. Mogadon is not for use in children.
The usual starting dose of Mogadon is 5 mg (one tablet). However, if you are elderly or suffer from a lung, liver or kidney condition, or are generally unwell, your starting dosewill not usually be more than 2.5 mg (half a tablet). You may not need to take this medicine every night. Swallow the tablet(s) whole with water or another non-alcoholic drink. Take the medicine just before going to bed. Make sure that you can sleep without interruptions for 7 to 8 hours after taking the tablets. Treatment will not normally be continued for more than four weeks.
Mogadon Tablets may become less effective if you take them for more than four weeks. If you think that your medicine is no longer working or your insomnia does not improve, you should consult your physician. Also, you may become dependent on the tablets if you use them at high doses and for long periods. Therefore, Mogadon Tablets are not suitable for long-term use and after a few weeks it is worth trying to get by without these tablets. This will help to prevent you becoming used to Mogadon and reduce the risk of dependence. Withdrawal symptoms may occur when you stop taking Mogadon Tablets (see section below when you stop taking Mogadon Tablets).
