Overview

Apo-Rosuvastatin 20mg Tablet contains Rosuvastatin 20mg (as rosuvastatin calcium) and is available as a tablet. It is classified as a prescription medicine and may only be obtained with a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

DoctorOnCall is a licensed online pharmacy. Orders for Apo-Rosuvastatin 20mg Tablet are processed only after a doctor has assessed your suitability and issued a prescription, and every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is sent out.

Directions for Use

Take Apo-Rosuvastatin 20mg Tablet once daily, at any time of day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Try to take it at the same time each day to build a routine, and continue taking it even if you feel well, since high cholesterol usually has no symptoms and control needs to be continuous.

Dosage

The usual starting dose of Apo-Rosuvastatin 20mg Tablet is 5-10mg once daily, which your doctor may adjust based on your cholesterol response, typically up to a maximum of 40mg daily for patients who need more intensive treatment. Your doctor will determine the right dose and monitoring schedule, including periodic cholesterol and liver function tests, for your condition.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
