Adult dose

This medication can be taken at any time of day, regardless of meals. The initial dose is 5 milligrams once daily, and the maintenance dose is 10 milligrams once daily, as most patients are adjusted to this dose. The maintenance dose should be appropriately adjusted based on LDL-cholesterol levels, treatment goals, and patient response every 4 weeks or more, up to a maximum of 20 milligrams per day.

Child dose

The usual dosage range for pediatric patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (ages 10 to 17) is 5 to 20 milligrams once daily. The dosage should be adjusted according to individual treatment goals over 4 weeks or more.

This medication should not be used in certain patients. For example, patients with allergies to any ingredient of this medication, severely impaired liver function, muscle disorders, severe renal function impairment, or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take this medication. Since this medication can affect liver function, it is important for patients with a history of liver disease or heavy alcohol consumption to undergo liver function tests before taking this medication. Additionally, if there are other conditions such as hypothyroidism or nephrotic syndrome, those should be treated prior to therapy. Muscle-related side effects have been reported, so any symptoms such as muscle pain, weakness, or cramps should be immediately reported to a doctor. In particular, if muscle enzyme levels significantly rise, the medication should be discontinued and medical advice should be followed. This medication can increase blood concentration when taken with certain drugs, thereby increasing the risk of muscle damage, so patients taking other medications should consult a doctor or pharmacist. Women of childbearing potential should use appropriate contraception while on this medication and should stop taking it immediately if they become pregnant. Breastfeeding women should also avoid taking this medication for safety reasons. There is no specific antidote for overdose, so care should be taken not to exceed the recommended dose, and medical attention should be sought if symptoms occur. This medication may cause dizziness, so caution is required when driving or operating machinery. Lastly, this medication may rarely cause serious skin reactions or liver damage, so if any skin rash or jaundice symptoms appear, the medication should be discontinued immediately and medical personnel consulted.
