Verelan PM (Cont.)

When and How to Take Verelan PM

Some general considerations for when and how to take Verelan PM include:
 
  • Verelan PM comes in the form of a capsule. Verelan PM is taken by mouth, usually once a day at bedtime.
     
  • It does not matter if you take Verelan PM with or without food.
     
  • Verelan PM capsules contain extended-release beads that slowly release the medication over time. Be sure to swallow the capsules whole.
     
  • For people who have difficulty swallowing, Verelan PM capsules may be opened and the contents sprinkled onto a spoonful of applesauce. The applesauce should not be hot and should be swallowed immediately (without chewing). Follow the applesauce with a glass of cool water.
     
  • Verelan PM should be taken at the same time each day to maintain an even level of the drug in your blood.
     
  • For Verelan PM to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. Verelan PM will not work if you stop taking it.
     

Verelan PM Dosing

The dose of Verelan PM your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, including:
 
  • Other medical conditions you may have
  • Other medications you may currently be taking.
     
As is always the case, do not adjust your Verelan PM dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
