The total daily dose was calculated with equation 6 and rounded to the nearest 10 mg (smallest available capsule). To reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects upon intake, daily doses are best divided into three and given with 8-h intervals between doses.
A dose of 150 mg is currently considered to be the maximal tolerable dose that can be administered on a daily basis to a patient.
