If no therapeutic effect is felt on the 7th day of treatment, treatment should be discontinued. If the therapeutic effect has been achieved, then starting from the day when a stable improvement is achieved, start reducing the dose by 1.2 g every two days until the manifestations of cortical myoclonus appear again.

Treatment should be continued until the symptoms of the disease disappear. To prevent deterioration of the patient's condition, the drug should not be abruptly discontinued.
