How Supplied

BILTRICIDE is supplied as a 600 mg white to orange tinged, film-coated, oblong tablet with three scores. The tablet is coded with “BAYER” on one side and “LG” on the reverse side.

When broken, each of the four segments contains 150 mg of active ingredient so that the dosage can be easily adjusted to the patient’s bodyweight.

Segments are broken off by pressing the score (notch) with thumbnails. If 1/4 of a tablet is required, this is best achieved by breaking the segment from the outer end. BILTRICIDE is available in bottles of 6 tablets.[1]
