Instructions for the investigator
Guided by the CGI Efficacy Index (below) determine dose level of study medication to be dispensed. Complete the Study Medication and Compliance Section. 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 for next scheduled 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.

Orthostatic vital signs - instructions
ONLY TAKE ORTHOSTATIC VITAL SIGNS IF A DOSE INCREASE OCCURS Instructions: Semi-supine measurements will be made after the patient has been resting semi-supine for at least 10 minutes and erect measurements will be taken after the patient has been standing for a period of 1 minute. • The blood pressure cuff must be placed on the same arm throughout the study. • Ideally, the same study nurse/medical professional should conduct all the blood pressure/pulse measurements for each clinic visit and each patient throughout the study. • Pre-dose orthostatic measurements will commence approximately 30 minutes prior to dosing and each set will be separated by 10 minutes rest in the semi-supine position. • Two sets of stable, consecutive pre-dose semi-supine and erect blood pressure measurements as well as two sets of pulse rate measurements will be taken. Stable is defined as three measurements within +15mmHg of the lowest measurement. • One set of orthostatic blood pressure and pulse measurements will be taken 2 hours post dose.
