Dosage typically includes information on the number of doses, intervals between administrations, and the overall treatment period. [3] For example, a dosage might be described as "200 mg twice daily for two weeks," where 200 mg represents the individual dose, twice daily indicates the frequency, and two weeks specifies the duration of treatment.

If multiple doses of treatment are needed in a day, the physician must take into account information regarding the total amount of the drug which is safe to use in one day, and how that should be broken up ...

In human, the mean steady state clearance (CL ss /F) was 1.13 L/h across in 1 to 4 mg dose range. In the dose range, the mean half-life was 10.3 h. [2] Urine excretion was negligible amount in elimination of lobeglitazone in rat and human. [1] [2] The plasma protein binding of the drug is over 99%.
