Usual Adult Dose for Myocardial Infarction:

Early treatment:
IV: 3 bolus injections of 5 mg of Sefloc given at 2 minute intervals.
Oral: In patients who tolerate the full IV dose, Sefloc tablets, 50 mg every 6 hours, should be initiated 15 minutes after the last IV dose and continued for 48 hours. Maintenance dose: 100 mg orally twice a day.
Patients who appear not to tolerate the full IV dose should be started on Sefloc tablets at 25 mg or 50 mg every 6 hours 15 minutes after the last intravenous dose or as soon as their clinical condition allows.
Late treatment:
Oral: 100 mg orally twice a day.
Patients with contraindications to treatment during the early phase of suspected or definite myocardial infarction, patients who appear not to tolerate the full early treatment, and patients in whom the physician wishes to delay therapy for any other reason should be started on Sefloc tablets as soon as their clinical condition allows.

Usual Adult Dose for Congestive Heart Failure:

Initial dose: 25 mg once daily (of the XL formulation) for two weeks in patients with NYHA class II heart failure and 12.5 mg once daily (of the XL formulation) in patients with more severe heart failure.
Maintenance dose: This dosage should then be doubled every two weeks to the highest dosage level tolerated or up to 200 mg.
If transient worsening of heart failure occurs, it may be treated with increased doses of diuretics, and it may also be necessary to lower the dose or temporarily discontinue treatment. The dose should not be increased until symptoms of worsening heart failure stabilize.
Initial difficulty with titration should not preclude later attempts to institute therapy. If heart failure patients experience symptomatic bradycardia, the dose of Sefloc should be reduced.

Initial dose: 1 to 2 mg/kg/day, administered in 2 divided doses. Dosage should be adjusted based on patient response.

Initial dose: 1 mg/kg orally once daily (not to exceed 50 mg once daily). The minimum available dose is one half of the 25 mg tablet.
Maintenance dose: Dosage should be adjusted according to blood pressure response. Doses above 2 mg/kg (or in excess of 200 mg) once daily have not been studied.
