Torvast dosing

Usual Adult Dose for Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease:

Initial dose: 10 mg to 80 mg orally once a day.
The initial dosage of Torvast recommended for this patient in the prevention of cardiovascular disease is 10 mg to 80 mg orally once a day. Torvast may be administered at any time of the day without regard for meals.
Dose adjustments should be made at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks.
Studies have demonstrated that treatment with Torvast is associated with significant reductions in the risk of cardiovascular endpoints and stroke in various patient populations for both primary and secondary prevention.
For primary prevention, Torvast treatment was effective in hypertensive patients with normal or mildly elevated cholesterol levels as well as in patients with type II diabetes. Patients had relatively low cholesterol levels at baseline in both trials; however, treatment with Torvast still resulted in significant reductions in cardiovascular outcomes and stroke.
For secondary prevention, intensive Torvast lowering therapy with Torvast 80 mg/day was associated with significant incremental clinical benefit beyond therapy with 10 mg/day in patients with stable coronary heart disease. It was also shown to significantly reduce the risk of clinical outcomes in coronary heart disease patients versus usual medical care.

Usual Adult Dose for Hyperlipidemia:

Initial dose: 10, 20 or 40 mg orally once a day. The 40 mg starting dose is recommended for patients who require a reduction in LDL-cholesterol of more than 45%.

Usual Pediatric Dose for Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia:

10 to 17 years:
10 mg per day. Adjustments should be made at intervals of 4 weeks or more.

Select the most affordable brand or generic drug

Generic drug is the basic drug with an active substance in it, and the name of the generic drug is same as active substance most of the times. Like Acetaminophen/Paracetemol is Generic name and it has different brand names like Tylenol, Acimol, Crocin, Calpol etc. All these Brand names contain the same Paracetemol, but the medications are manufactured by different companies, so the different brand names. Generic drug is always cheaper and affordable, and it can be replaced in place of brand name drug prescribed by the healthcare practitioner. The Generic medicine has same properties as branded medicine in terms of uses, indications, doses, side effects, so no need to worry on that. Just select the most affordable generic or branded medicine.
