Overview

Ranbaxy Storvas C 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 Ranbaxy Storvas C 40mg Tablet once daily, at any time of day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew it. Try to take it at the same time each day, 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 Ranbaxy Storvas C 40mg Tablet is 10-20mg once daily, adjusted by your doctor based on your cholesterol response, up to a maximum of 80mg daily for patients who need more intensive lowering. Your doctor will determine the right starting 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.
