Adult dosage

This medication is taken once daily, regardless of meals. For primary hypercholesterolemia, the dosage range is 10/10mg to 10/80mg daily, with a recommended initial dose of 10/10mg or 10/20mg daily. Patients requiring a more significant reduction in LDL cholesterol (more than 55%) are advised to start with a dose of 10/40mg daily. After starting the treatment or dose adjustment, blood lipid levels should be checked with an interval of more than 2 weeks.

This medication is used to lower blood cholesterol levels. Before administration, it is essential to check for the risk of severe muscle diseases such as myopathy or rhabdomyolysis. If these symptoms occur, inform your doctor immediately and, if necessary, stop taking the medication. Patients with poor liver function or liver disease should not take this medication and should undergo regular liver function tests during treatment. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant, as well as nursing mothers, should not use this drug. Women of childbearing age should use appropriate contraceptive methods. Patients with alcohol dependence, the elderly, and those with renal dysfunction should use this medication with caution and may require dosage adjustments as directed by their physician. When used in combination with other specific medications, the risk of myopathy may increase, so it is crucial to consult with a physician or pharmacist. During treatment, symptoms such as muscle pain, muscle weakness, malaise, and fever may occur; therefore, it is important to monitor these carefully. Dizziness or cough may occur, so caution should be exercised when driving or operating machinery. In the event of an overdose, there is no specific antidote, so it is important to visit a medical institution immediately for appropriate treatment and evaluation. Safety and efficacy have not been established in children or minors, so it is not recommended for them. Store this medication out of reach of children, and be cautious not to transfer it to another container, as this may affect its quality.
