    • Adults ages 18 to 64 years old: The typical starting dose is 75 mg to 100 mg by mouth daily.
    • Adolescents and adults ages 65 years and older: The typical starting dose is 30 mg to 40 mg by mouth daily. Doses higher than 100 mg per day are generally not needed.
  • Bedwetting at night:
    • Children ages 6 years and older: The typical starting dose is 25 mg by mouth one hour before bedtime. Your provider might raise the dose to up to 75 mg, depending on your child's age and how well the medication works for them.
