This medication is administered once daily, regardless of meals. The dosage should be adjusted based on the baseline LDL-cholesterol of the patient, the recommended treatment target, and the patient's response. In the case of primary hypercholesterolemia, the dosage range is 10/10mg to 10/40mg daily. A starting dose of 10/10mg or 10/20mg once daily is recommended. For patients requiring a greater reduction in LDL-cholesterol, the dosage can be adjusted accordingly.

This medication is primarily used to lower blood cholesterol levels and contains atorvastatin and ezetimibe. While taking this medication, serious muscle-related side effects such as myopathy or rhabdomyolysis may occur, so if symptoms like muscle pain, weakness, or cramps appear, inform your physician immediately. Patients with conditions that may cause muscle damage, such as severe acute infections, hypotension, major surgery or trauma, and endocrine disorders, should temporarily discontinue or stop this medication. This medication is not administered to patients with compromised liver function, those with muscle diseases, pregnant or potentially pregnant women, nursing mothers, and those taking certain medications. Caution is required when administering to patients with a history of alcoholism or liver disease, and those with impaired kidney function or hypothyroidism, as they are at higher risk for myopathy. This medication may affect liver function; therefore, liver function tests should be performed regularly before and during treatment, and the medication should be stopped if symptoms of liver damage occur. Additionally, this medication may raise blood sugar levels, so patients at risk for diabetes should manage their blood sugar levels closely. There may be drug interactions while taking this medication, particularly with CYP3A4 inhibitors, fibrates, cyclosporine, and antiviral medications, so caution is necessary. Women of childbearing potential should use appropriate contraception while taking this medication and stop immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. There may be symptoms such as dizziness or muscle pain; caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. This medication is not recommended for children as safety and efficacy have not been established, and caution is advised when administering to the elderly due to a higher risk of myopathy. In case of overdose, there is no specific antidote, and appropriate treatment and supportive care should be received based on symptoms while monitoring liver function and muscle enzyme levels. This medication should be stored out of the reach of children and should not be transferred to other containers for safety.
