Not for use in pediatric patients due to risk of tardive dyskinesia, other extrapyramidal symptoms, and risk of methemoglobinemia in neonates. Not for use in moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B or C), moderate or severe renal impairment (CrCl <60mL/min), and patients concurrently using strong CYP2D6 inhibitors due to the risk of increased drug exposure and adverse reactions.
Adult Dosage:

Avoid concomitant drugs that can cause or potentially affect TD, EPS, or NMS (eg, antipsychotics). Potentiated by strong CYP2D6 inhibitors (eg, quinidine, bupropion, fluoxetine, paroxetine); not recommended. Increased risk of hypertension with MAOIs; avoid. Increased risk of CNS depression with alcohol, sedatives, hypnotics, opiates, anxiolytics; avoid. Antagonized by drugs that impair GI motility (eg, antiperistaltic antidiarrheals, anticholinergics, opiates); monitor. Avoid concomitant dopaminergic agonists and other drugs (eg, apomorphine, bromocriptine, cabergoline, levodopa, pramipexole, ropinirole, rotigotine). May potentiate succinylcholine, mivacurium, sirolimus, tacrolimus, cyclosporine; monitor and adjust dose. May antagonize digoxin (adjust dose), atovaquone, posaconazole (oral susp), fosfomycin; monitor. Concomitant insulin: monitor and adjust dose.
