Stelazine is given once or twice daily, with the dosage adjusted based on the child’s weight and condition. The dose may be increased gradually until symptoms improve or side effects appear. The lowest effective dose should be used, and most cases do not require doses exceeding 15 mg daily. Stelazine is not recommended for children under 6 years old.

Overdose In case of drug overdose, contact a health care practitioner, hospital emergency department, or regional Poison Control Centre immediately, even if there are no symptoms.
