Most important fact about Aldomet
You must take Aldomet regularly for it to be effective. Since blood pressure declines gradually, it may be several weeks before you get the full benefit of Aldomet; and you must continue taking it even if you are feeling well. Aldomet does not cure high blood pressure; it merely keeps it under control.
How should you take this Aldomet?
Take Aldomet exactly as prescribed. Try not to miss any doses. Do not stop taking the drug without your doctor's knowledge. Drowsiness may occur when dosage is increased. If your doctor increases the amount of Aldomet you take, start the new dosage in the evening. --If you miss a dose...Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at the same time. --Storage instructions...
Keep Aldomet in the container it came in, tightly closed. Store Aldomet tablets at room temperature. Protect from light.

Recommended Aldomet dosage
ADULTS The usual starting dose is 250 milligrams, 2 or 3 times per day in the first 48 hours of treatment. Your doctor may increase or decrease your dose over the next few days to achieve the correct blood pressure.
To reduce the effect of any sedation the medication may cause, dosage increases will usually be given in the evening. The usual maintenance dosage is 500 milligrams to 2 grams per day divided into 2 to 4 doses. The maximum dose is usually 3 grams. Your doctor will also adjust your dosage of Aldomet when it is taken in combination with certain other high blood pressure drugs. If you take Aldomet with a non-thiazide high blood pressure medicine, your doctor will limit the initial dosage to 500 milligrams daily divided into small doses. Dosages will be adjusted, and other high blood pressure drugs may be added, during the first few months of treatment with Aldomet. Those with reduced kidney function may require smaller doses. Older people who are prone to fainting spells due to arterial disease may also require smaller doses.
CHILDREN The usual starting dose is 10 milligrams per 2.2 pounds of body weight daily, divided into 2 to 4 doses. Doses will be adjusted until blood pressure is normal. The maximum daily dose is usually 65 milligrams per 2.2 pounds of body weight or 3 grams, whichever is less.
OLDER ADULTS Dosages of this drug are adjusted to each individual's needs. Lower doses may be prescribed by your doctor.
