How Potassium Bromide, Nickel Sulfate, and Sulfur is used

INDICATIONS ECZEMOL ® is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe eczema and atopic dermatitis. It has been found to work well with a variety of combination therapies.

Dosage

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Absorption of nickel sulphate is variable among individuals. For maximum absorption, tablets should be taken orally at the beginning of the day (or any convenient time after having taken nothing but water for at least 7 hours). Take nothing but water for one hour after taking medication to aid absorption. Kg lbs Starting dose Max Daily dose 5-11 11-25 ¼ ½ 12-22 26-50 ½ 1 23-45 51-100 1 2 46-68 101-150 2 4 69-90 151-200 3 6 91+ 201+ 4 8 In the setting of renal impairment Dosage should be adjusted and serum nickel and bromide levels should be followed. Steady state trough level should be drawn prior to ingesting the day's dose after one week of dosing or at appropriate intervals. Target trough serum nickel level is 20-40 mcg/L. (Caution: post dose peak levels are unreliable.) Treatment duration depends on the individual. Increase dose as needed on a monthly basis.

Maintenance phase In order to maintain symptomatic relief, medication may be continued at the same or reduced initial phase dose level.
