Directions for Use

Take Ralsin 5mg Tablet at bedtime, especially your first dose and after any dose increase, to reduce the risk of dizziness or fainting on standing. It can be taken with or without food. Rise slowly from lying or sitting positions, particularly when you first start or restart this medicine after a break.

Dosage

Ralsin 5mg Tablet is usually started at a low dose (1mg) at bedtime to reduce the risk of first-dose dizziness, then gradually increased by your doctor over several days to weeks to a usual maintenance dose, which may be this strength or another as needed. Never adjust your own dose – titration must be guided by your doctor.
