Dosing should be titrated according to individual response to therapy to achieve the lowest effective dose.

If signs of dose intolerance develop, the dose should be decreased by half for 3 to 5 days and then titrated back up in 2 mcg/kg increments every 2 weeks until the desired effect is achieved.
