How many days of supply does a 90‑capsule bottle provide when the medication is taken at the maximum dose of three 200 mg capsules per day, and how many capsules remain after a 30‑day titration requiring 69 capsules?

Days Supply Calculation for 90 Capsules

A 90-capsule bottle provides exactly 30 days of supply when taken at the maximum dose of three 200 mg capsules per day, with 21 capsules remaining after the initial 30-day titration period that requires 69 capsules.

Standard Maximum Dose Calculation

• At the maximum recommended dose of three capsules daily, 90 capsules divided by 3 capsules per day equals exactly 30 days of medication supply 1

Titration Period Considerations

• The 30-day titration schedule requires a total of 69 capsules to reach maximum dosing 1
• After completing the titration protocol, 21 capsules remain from the original 90-capsule supply (90 - 69 = 21 capsules) 1
• These remaining 21 capsules provide an additional 7 days of therapy at the maximum maintenance dose of three capsules daily 1

Clinical Application

• For new patients starting therapy: The 90-capsule bottle covers the complete 30-day titration period plus 7 additional days at maximum dose 1
• For established patients on maximum dose: The 90-capsule bottle provides exactly 30 days of continuous therapy 1

Dispensing Considerations

• Pharmacies should calculate days supply based on the prescribed dosing regimen rather than assuming uniform daily consumption throughout the bottle 1
• For insurance and refill purposes, the days supply should reflect the actual duration the medication will last based on the specific titration or maintenance schedule 1
