Directions for Use

Take Apo-Pravastatin 20mg Tablet once daily, preferably in the evening or at bedtime, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water, and continue taking it consistently even if you feel well, as cholesterol control needs to be ongoing.

Dosage

The usual dose of Apo-Pravastatin 20mg Tablet is 10-40mg once daily, adjusted by your doctor based on your cholesterol response and cardiovascular risk. Your doctor will determine the right dose and monitoring schedule, including periodic cholesterol and liver function tests, for your condition.
