The dosage is adjusted according to the disease, the clinical picture and the stage of the illness: In conditions of acute pain, massive initial-dose therapy on several occasions, 1 tablet or 10 drops every 15 minutes, otherwise 1 tablet, dissolved on the tongue, or 10 drops 3 times daily. 1 ampoule daily in conditions of acute pain, otherwise 1 ampoule i.m., s.c., intradermal (neurally, segmentally), i.v. once to 3 times weekly.
