Consult you doctor: It is not a good idea to increase the dose on your own. Please consult with the doctor who prescribed the medication.

What's the result?: was the LDL of 241 before or after starting Rosuvastatin? If before, then you need a follow up blood test to,assess the response. If this is after being on it for a while,then you may need the 20mg or even 40mg dose.
