This medication can be administered at any time of day, regardless of meals. The initial dose is 5mg once a day, and if more LDL cholesterol reduction is required, the maintenance dose can be adjusted. The maintenance dose is typically 10mg once a day for most patients. The maintenance dose should be adjusted at intervals of 4 weeks or more based on LDL cholesterol levels, treatment goals, and patient response.

Children's dosage

This medication should not be used in certain patients. For example, it is contraindicated for patients who are allergic to any of its components, patients with severe liver impairment, patients with muscle disorders, patients with severe kidney diseases, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. This drug may affect liver function, so patients with a history of liver disease or heavy alcohol consumption should use it with caution. It is advisable to undergo regular liver function tests during treatment. Symptoms such as muscle pain or weakness may occur, and rarely, serious muscle damage may arise; therefore, if any such symptoms appear, they should be immediately reported to medical staff. Moreover, muscle-related tests should be performed to check for abnormalities. This medication may interact with other drugs, so if taking other medications, patients must inform their healthcare provider. Caution is especially needed when used concurrently with certain antibiotics, antifungals, immunosuppressants, or fibrates. Women of childbearing potential should use proper contraceptive methods while taking this medication, and if pregnancy is confirmed, they must stop taking it immediately. In the case of overdose, since there is no specific antidote, symptomatic treatment should be administered, and liver function and muscle enzyme levels should be monitored. This medication may rarely cause serious skin reactions or liver dysfunction; therefore, if symptoms like skin rash, jaundice, or severe fatigue occur, patients should consult with healthcare professionals immediately. Dizziness may occur during driving or operating machinery, so caution is required. When used in children and adolescents, careful monitoring of growth and development is essential.
