This medication is administered once daily without regard to meals. The dosage range is from 10/10 mg to 10/40 mg per day. An initial dose of 10/10 mg or 10/20 mg is recommended. Patients requiring a greater reduction in LDL cholesterol can have their dosage adjusted. After starting treatment or adjusting the dosage, blood lipid levels should be checked at intervals of at least 2 weeks to adjust the dosage accordingly.

This medicine can rarely cause damage to muscle tissue, leading to serious kidney problems, so it should be discontinued or temporarily paused if acute myopathy symptoms occur or if there are issues with kidney function. It should not be used in patients with an allergy to this medication, active liver disease, or muscle disorders, in pregnant or breastfeeding women, or in patients taking certain other medications. Patients with alcohol addiction, poor liver function, high risk of myopathy, or those taking specific drugs together should use this medication with caution, and seek medical advice immediately if muscle-related symptoms arise. Liver function tests and muscle health status should be regularly monitored while taking this medication, and if symptoms of liver damage, muscle pain, or muscle weakness occur, medical personnel should be notified immediately. This medication can interact with various drugs that affect blood drug levels, so patients taking other medications should inform their healthcare provider, and dosage adjustments may be necessary. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not take this medication, and women of childbearing potential should use appropriate contraception. This medication is not recommended for children as safety and efficacy have not been established, and caution is required in the elderly due to the risk of myopathy. In case of overdose, there is no specific antidote, and treatment should be symptomatic and supportive, with monitoring of liver function and muscle enzyme levels.
