Impactwin Tablet 10/10mg

Adult dose

This medication is administered once daily in the evening, regardless of meals. For patients with primary hypercholesterolemia: The dosage range is 10/10mg to 10/40mg per day, with a generally recommended initial dose of 10/20mg daily. Patients for whom LDL cholesterol reduction is less critical may start at 10/10mg daily. After initiation of treatment or dose adjustment, blood lipid levels should be checked at intervals of more than 4 weeks.

This medication is primarily used to lower cholesterol, and serious muscle-related side effects such as myopathy or rhabdomyolysis may occur, so caution is advised. Myopathy may be accompanied by symptoms of muscle pain or weakness, and blood tests may show a significant increase in creatine kinase levels indicating muscle damage. Particularly, the risk of muscle side effects increases with high dosage; thus, patients taking high doses require more careful monitoring. This medication can affect liver function, so it should not be taken by patients with liver disease or abnormal liver enzyme levels. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take this medication, and women who may become pregnant should confirm their pregnancy status before taking it. Additionally, the risk of muscle side effects may be increased when this medication is taken with other drugs that inhibit specific enzymes (CYP3A4); consult a physician if on such medications. Medications that should not be used in conjunction with this medication include certain antifungals, antibiotics, immunosuppressants, and specific heart medications. If muscle pain, weakness, or unexplained pain occurs during treatment, inform a doctor immediately, and if necessary, discontinue the medication. This medication may elevate blood glucose levels, so patients at risk of diabetes should monitor their blood sugar regularly. Elderly patients or those with impaired kidney function may experience side effects more readily, so caution is advised. This medication contains lactose, and lactose-intolerant patients should not take it. Routine blood tests during treatment are recommended to monitor liver function and muscle condition, and if abnormal symptoms appear, consult medical personnel immediately. If prescribed a new medication during treatment, inform medical personnel that you are taking this medication.
