- For osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, Nabumetone is usually prescribed at a starting dose of 1000mg to be taken once or twice daily with or without food. Some patients may benefit from an increased dose of 1500mg to 2000mg per day.
- To reduce the risk of renal effects, the lowest effective dose should be used for chronic treatment. Patients weighing less than 50kg may not require dosages beyond 1000mg, so adjustments to the dose should be made based on the individual patient’s response to initial therapy.
