Take tablets twice a day (b.i.d.) for best results. Absorption of nickel sulphate is variable among individuals. For maximum nickel absorption, tablets should be taken orally upon rising at the beginning of the day and at the end of the day before bed. Take nothing but water for one hour after taking medication to aid nickel absorption. If taking Tetracycline or Levofloxacin allow at least two hours after taking Acunol. If taking a different Quinolone antibiotic, consult manufacturer's information.

In the setting of significant renal impairmentDosage should be adjusted and serum nickel and bromide levels should be followed. Steady state trough nickel level should be drawn prior to ingesting the day's dose after one week of dosing or at appropriate intervals. Target trough serum nickel level is 10-40 mcg/L. (Caution: post dose peak levels are unreliable.) Serum bromide assay by spectrophotometry is the historic standard.36 Concentrations higher than 50 mg/dl may be compatible with toxicity. No therapeutic target levels exist for bromide.
