After 1 week at 10 mg/day, increase the dose to 20 mg/day. However, due to higher plasma levels in lower weight children, the starting and target dose in this group may be 10 mg/day. Consider a dose increase to 20 mg/day after several weeks if insufficient clinical improvement is observed.
About the lake. Lake Koocanusa is 90 miles long and at full pool, 370 feet deep. Although it sounds like an ancient tribal name of some sort, Lake Koocanusa is not an Indian name. A lady named Alice Beers who lived in Rexford, Montana won a contest in 1971 to name the reservoir formed by Libby Dam.
Pronounced Wash-ah-taw, the lake was created by building the Blakely Mountain Dam. âOuachitaâ is the French spelling of the Indian word Washita which is from two Choctaw Indian words, Owa Chito, meaning big hunt. With over 40,000 acres of water, Lake Ouachita averages 50 feet deep. The deepest area touching 200 feet. Lake Ouachita was not clear cut before it was filled, so a forest is still standing beneath the surface. Many trees left standing were over 60 feet tall.
