Sinequan is available in capsule form, and the dosage and administration instructions are based on the patient’s medical condition and response to treatment, as determined by their doctor. Generally, Sinequan is taken orally, usually 1 to 3 times daily or as directed by the doctor. If the patient takes it only once a day, it should be taken at bedtime to reduce daytime sleepiness. The medication should be taken regularly to get the most benefit from it, and the dosage should not be increased, or the drug used more often or for longer than prescribed.
To reduce the risk of side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, and dizziness, the doctor may direct the patient to start at a low dose and gradually increase it. The medication should be taken with water or milk and should not be mixed with soda or other carbonated beverages. If the patient is taking the medication in combination with liquid methadone, it may be mixed with lemonade, orange juice, sugar water, or plain water, but not grape juice.
Continue taking Sinequan even if the patient feels well, and to not stop taking the medication without consulting their doctor first. Suddenly stopping the medication may worsen certain conditions or cause withdrawal symptoms like mood swings, headaches, and tiredness. The doctor may gradually reduce the patient’s dose to prevent these symptoms while stopping treatment.
It may take up to 3 weeks for the full effect of Sinequan to be felt, and any new or worsening symptoms should be reported to the doctor right away. As with all medications, follow the doctor’s instructions carefully and report any concerns or side effects.
