Overview

Apo-Atorvastatin 40mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a tablet, with Atorvastatin 40mg (as atorvastatin calcium) as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Take Apo-Atorvastatin 40mg Tablet once daily, at any time of day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water, and continue taking it consistently even if you feel well, as high cholesterol usually has no symptoms.

Dosage

Apo-Atorvastatin 40mg Tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your cholesterol levels, treatment response, and individual risk factors. Periodic cholesterol and liver function tests may be arranged during treatment to monitor your response and safety.
