Guest guest Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 >>> 2.5 mg daily is the smallest recommended maintenance dose for Tapazole. When you are in remission, then it's best to > wean off slowly using the 2.5 mg every other day to adapt your immune system to the change. <<< Hi Elaine - A while back, I read somewhere that anything less than 2.5 mg a day of Tap is not effective. That's easy for someone to say. I don't think it was backed by any research, so I'm wondering if you have ever located any studies on the lowest possible " effective " daily dose of Tapazole, or do you know where I could look for *official* info on this. If a patient gets to the point where 2.5 EVERY day is too much, wouldn't it make more sense to keep the flow of meds more even with 1.25 mg a day instead of the lopsided dosing of 2.5 one day, and none the next? Even if it is said that this is " ineffective " this may not pertain to ALL people. Wouldn't it make more sense to at least try 1.25 mg every day, and see if this person benefits from it or not--if she gets to the point where this may pertain? After all, some people are more sensitive to even the smallest change in Tap dosage, so who can absolutely confirm the statement that anything less than 2.5 mg a day is ineffective in ALL patients?
