The recommended dose of Saroglitazar is two tablets of 2 mg once a day.
Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of Saroglitazar in children less than 18 years of age have not been established.
Geriatric Use: Considering the comorbidity and concomitant medications in elderly patients, Saroglitazar should be used with caution in geriatric patients.
In two controlled phase III clinical studies of 12 to 24 weeks treatment duration with Sarozar, the most common adverse events (AEs > 2%) reported were gastritis, asthenia and pyrexia. Most of the AEs were mild to moderate in nature and did not result in discontinuation of the study. Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, AE rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
