AtorTive Tablet 10/10 mg

Adult dosage

The medication is administered once daily regardless of meals. The dosage range is 10/10mg to 10/40mg daily. An initial dosage of 10/10mg or 10/20mg daily is recommended. For patients requiring more LDL cholesterol reduction, the dosage can be adjusted. After starting treatment or adjusting the dosage, blood lipid levels should be checked at intervals of more than 2 weeks to adjust the dosage accordingly.

This medication can affect the muscles, so if symptoms such as muscle pain, muscle cramps, or muscle weakness occur, you should consult your doctor immediately. Severe muscle disorders or rhabdomyolysis, which are rare side effects, may occur, so caution is needed if there is muscle pain or weakness accompanied by fever. Liver function tests should be conducted before and during treatment with this medication, and if there is an abnormality in liver function, administration should be stopped or the dosage adjusted. Additionally, this medication should be used cautiously in patients with liver disease or those who consume excessive alcohol. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as well as nursing mothers, should not take this medication, and women of childbearing age should use appropriate contraception during treatment. It is not recommended for children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Elderly patients are at higher risk of muscle disorders, so caution is needed when taking this medication, although specific dosage adjustments are generally not required. This medication may increase the risk of side effects when taken with certain other drugs, so you should inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other medications. There is no specific antidote for overdose, so supportive treatment should be administered alongside monitoring of liver function and muscle enzyme levels.
