The recommended adult dose of delavirdine is 400 mg (4 tablets of 100 mg each) 3 times daily taken in combination with other anti-HIV (antiretroviral) medications. Delavirdine tablets can be dissolved in at least 90 mL (3 ounces) of water to make them easier to take. Allow the mixture of water and tablets to stand for a few minutes, then stir the mixture before drinking it. The glass should then be rinsed and the rinse swallowed to make sure that all the medication is taken.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

Rescriptor may be taken with or without food.

If you have a condition known as achlorhydria (low stomach acid), you should take delavirdine with an acidic drink such as orange or cranberry juice. People who need antacids should take them at least one hour apart from their dose of delavirdine.

It is important to take Rescriptor exactly as prescribed. The effectiveness of the medication depends on there being the right amount of delavirdine in the bloodstream. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

If you forget many doses in a row, talk to your doctor about how to resume dosing.

Store Rescriptor at room temperature and protect it from excessive light and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed. Keep this and all medication out of reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
