The standard dose of Zetia is 10mg orally once daily, usually 1 tablet, which can be taken with or without food. The following provides specific explanations from three aspects: conventional dosage, combination therapy, and special adjustments.

1. Conventional usage

(1) Monotherapy: Adults and children over 10 years old should take 10mg (1 tablet) daily without adjusting the dosage based on weight.

(2) Medication time: It can be taken at any time of the day, but it is recommended to have a fixed time to maintain stable blood drug concentration.

2 Combination therapy plan

(1) Combination with statins: Maintain a daily dose of 10mg and avoid taking statins for at least 2 hours.

(2) Combination with bile acid chelating agent: ezetimibe should be used 2 hours before or 4 hours after taking the bile acid chelating agent.

3 Special Adjustments

(1) Liver dysfunction: Mild to moderate abnormalities do not require adjustment, and are contraindicated for severe disorders.

(2) Omission treatment: If you forget to take your medication, you should immediately take it when you remember it on the same day and resume the original plan the next day.
