Hi..

I have a 40 cc pump & it gets filled with 40cc's each time it is refilled. There is also the 20 cc pump.

Take care, Bob

Hi debRA,

The initial dose is determined from the screening trial, and varies from person to person.

From Drugs.com:

Post-Implant Dose Titration Period: To determine the initial total daily dose of LIORESAL INTRATHECAL following implant, the screening dose that gave a positive effect should be doubled and administered over a 24-hour period, unless the efficacy of the bolus dose was maintained for more than 8 hours, in which case the starting daily dose should be the screening dose delivered over a 24-hour period. No dose increases should be given in the first 24 hours (i.e., until the steady state is achieved).

You can read more here:

Then, your daily dosage is adjusted over the next several months until the most effective dose is achieved.

I hope this helps!
