What is unique about taking medicine every 24 hours.because of side effect, my md told me to take my 10mg simvistatin every other day. any other ideas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can also: try taking one half tab every day. But 10mg simvastatin is really a low dose. You might want to ask your doctor if another statin might have less side effects in your case.
