Instructions for the investigator
Guided by the CGI Efficacy Index (below) determine dose level to be dispensed and dispense Weeks 9 - 12 study medication. Complete the Study Medication and Compliance Section at the back of the next module (book 2). If the patient’s dose has been increased at this clinic visit: a) Instruct the patient to return to the clinic this evening or remain to perform orthostatic vital signs*: - 2 sets of pre-dose orthostatic blood pressure and pulse - Patient takes evening dose in the clinic - One set of 2 hour post-dose orthostatic blood pressure and pulse Instruct the patient to take the appropriate number of tablet(s), at the same time, no earlier than 3 hours prior to and no later than one hour prior to bedtime (except on the first night of each new dose increase). Patient must return the bottle(s) with any unused medication at the next visit. Arrange for the patient to return in 28 days (plus or minus 3 days) for the Week 12 clinic visit. * Where possible this visit should be performed in the evening with dosing approximately 8:00 P.M. However, for scheduling convenience, this visit (including dosing) may occur during the afternoon hours (as late in the day as possible) to accomodate the collection of orthostatic blood pressure/pulse assessments during the normal clinic hours.
