New Bust Tablet 10 mg (Atorvastatin Strontium Hydrate)

Adult dose

Before and during treatment with atorvastatin, patients should follow a standard cholesterol-lowering diet. The medicine may be taken at any time of day, with or without food. Hyperlipidemia: The recommended starting dose is 10 mg of atorvastatin once daily. For patients who require greater reductions in LDL cholesterol, treatment may be started at 20 mg or 40 mg once daily (40 mg only when an LDL cholesterol reduction of more than 45 % is required). This medicine is administered in a dose range of 10 ～ 80 mg once daily. The initial and maintenance doses of this medicine should be individualized according to the patient's characteristics, taking into account treatment goals and response. Lipid levels should be analyzed 2 ～ 4 weeks after starting treatment and/or titrating the dose, and the dose should be adjusted accordingly. Because the goal of treatment is to lower LDL cholesterol, it is recommended that LDL cholesterol be used when initiating treatment and evaluating the response. However, if LDL cholesterol levels are unavailable, total cholesterol levels should be used to monitor the treatment response. Patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: The dose of this medicine is 10 ～ 80 mg once daily. Administer this medicine in combination with other lipid-lowering treatments (e.g., LDL apheresis), or when such treatments are unavailable. Patients with renal impairment: Renal disease does not affect the plasma concentration of atorvastatin or its LDL cholesterol-lowering effect; therefore, no dose adjustment is necessary. Older adults: Efficacy and safety in patients aged 70 years and older are similar to those in the general adult population.

Child dose

Pediatric patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (10 ～ 17 years): The recommended starting dose is 10 mg of this medicine once daily, and the recommended maximum dose is 20 mg daily (there are no clinical data on doses of this medicine higher than 20 mg in pediatric patients). The dose should be adjusted as appropriate according to the recommended treatment goal for each patient. Adjust the dose at intervals of 4 weeks or longer.

This medication may cause muscle problems, so if symptoms of muscle pain or weakness occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician. Do not use in patients with allergies to this medication, liver disease, muscle disease, women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, or nursing mothers, and in children under 10 years old. Patients with a history of liver disease or alcohol addiction should use this medication with special caution, and patients at high risk of muscle damage should undergo regular muscle-related tests. During use of this medication, regular liver function tests and muscle enzyme tests should be performed, and if abnormalities are found, treatment should be discontinued immediately. This medication can interact with other medications; therefore, consult a physician particularly if taking certain antibiotics, antifungals, HIV drugs, some cardiac medications, or grapefruit juice. Women of childbearing age should use appropriate contraception while taking this medication, and it must not be taken during pregnancy. This medication is also contraindicated for nursing mothers, and breastfeeding should be discontinued during use. Elderly patients or those with reduced kidney function are at higher risk of muscle damage, so they should be more cautious during use and report any symptoms immediately to medical personnel. In case of overdose, there is no specific antidote and treatment should be symptomatic, closely monitoring liver function and muscle condition. Keep out of reach of children, and store in the original container to prevent misuse or quality degradation.
