For PMDD, the starting dose is usually 50 mg daily, either continuously or intermittently (during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle). Dosage may be increased gradually by a healthcare professional based on individual response and tolerability, up to a maximum of 200 mg per day. Seronex tablets should be administered orally once daily, in the morning or evening, with or without food.
