For primary hypercholesterolemia, the recommended initial dose is 10/5 mg once daily, within the dosage range of 10/5 mg to 10/20 mg daily.

Blood lipid levels should be checked at intervals of more than 4 weeks after initiation or dose adjustment to control the dosage.

This medicine carries a risk of muscle problems; therefore, if symptoms such as muscle pain, muscle weakness, or fever occur, you should immediately inform your doctor. Serious muscle damage, such as rhabdomyolysis, can occur rarely, so if muscle-related symptoms are severe or if CPK levels are significantly elevated, the medication should be discontinued. Additionally, it may affect liver function, so liver function tests should be performed regularly before and during medication use, and it should not be administered in cases of liver abnormalities. Patients who consume large amounts of alcohol or have liver disease should use this medicine cautiously. This medicine should not be administered to patients with severely reduced kidney function, and patients with weak kidney function should be monitored for possible muscle problems. Pregnant women, women who may become pregnant, and breastfeeding women should not take this medicine, and women of childbearing age should use appropriate contraception while on this medication. Safety for children and adolescents has not been sufficiently established, therefore it is not recommended. When taking this medicine, there may be interactions with other drugs, so you must inform your doctor or pharmacist of any medications you are taking. Caution is advised while driving or operating machinery as dizziness may occur. If severe skin reactions such as rash or swelling occur, immediately stop taking the medication and consult a healthcare professional. In the event of overdose, since there is no specific antidote, treatment should be based on symptoms while monitoring liver function and muscle condition. This medicine should be kept out of the reach of children and should not be transferred to other containers.
