– It is also possible to administer doses of Meronia up to 20 mg/kg as an intravenous bolus over approximately 5 minutes.

There is evidence from clinical experience as well as recent scientific literature of prolonged infusion for up to 3 hours with very good efficacy and less risk of adverse effects.

A solution for bolus injection is prepared by diluting the product in water for injection to a final concentration of 50 mg/ml.

A solution for infusion is prepared by diluting the product in either 0.9% sodium chloride solution for infusion or 5% dextrose solution for infusion to give a final concentration of 1-20 mg/ml.
