## Adult Dosing
One tablet orally with each meal.
## Pediatric Dosing
Safety and efficacy in pediatric patients have not been established. Use is not recommended.
## Dose Adjustments
No specific dose adjustments are required for renal or hepatic impairment.
## Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to chymosin or any component of the formulation.
## Adverse Effects
Gastrointestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) can occur, although it is generally well-tolerated. Allergic reactions are rare.
## Key Drug Interactions
No significant drug interactions have been reported.
## Monitoring
