Tabarozet Tablets 2/10 Milligrams

Adult dose

This medication is administered once daily, regardless of meals. The initial dose of 2/10 mg once daily is recommended. If there is insufficient LDL cholesterol-lowering effect, the dose may be increased up to a maximum of 4/10 mg daily. Dosage adjustments should be made appropriately after intervals of 4 weeks or more. For patients with liver dysfunction, an initial dose of 1 mg of pitavastatin calcium is recommended, so this medication should be used with caution during initial treatment.

This medication should not be administered to certain patients. For example, it is contraindicated in patients with allergies to its components, patients with active liver disease, patients with severe liver dysfunction, patients taking cyclosporine, patients with myopathy, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and it should not be used in children due to lack of experience. Additionally, caution should be exercised in patients with reduced liver function or excessive alcohol consumption, those with renal dysfunction, patients with hypothyroidism, elderly patients, and patients with myasthenia. While taking this medication, symptoms such as muscle pain, weakness, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, rash, or dyspepsia may occur, and immediate medical attention should be sought if symptoms arise. Serious muscle-related side effects such as myopathy or rhabdomyolysis can occur, so if symptoms of muscle pain or weakness develop, the medication should be discontinued immediately, and a doctor should be consulted. As this medication can affect liver function, regular liver function tests should be conducted before and during treatment, and if liver enzyme levels become abnormally high, the medication should be stopped. This medication may interact with other drugs, so it is essential to inform healthcare professionals about any current medications, especially if you are also taking cyclosporine, fibrates, nicotinic acid, or erythromycin. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not take this medication, and women who may become pregnant must confirm pregnancy before use. Children and the elderly are at higher risk for side effects while taking this medication, so extra caution is warranted, with elderly patients potentially needing dose adjustments if adverse reactions occur. In case of overdose, there is no specific antidote, so management should involve supportive care and monitoring of liver function and blood tests based on symptoms. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children and should not be transferred to other containers to ensure safety and maintain quality.
