Dosage
The daily dose is 200mg - 1,200mg in a single dose or in 2 divided doses as dictated by the severity of the condition to be treated. Treatment should be initiated with low doses, and the dose should be increased cautiously according to the response of the patient. Acebutolol is particularly suitable for antihypertensive combination treatment with diuretics, if acebutolol alone proves insufficient. In some countries injectable forms for i.v.-injection with 25mg acebutolol exist, but these are only for cases of emergency under strict clinical monitoring. The initial dose is 12.5 to 25mg, but additional doses may be increased to 75 to 100mg, if needed. If further treatment is required, it should be oral.
