Suggest The Dosage Of Atorvastatin

My mother-in-law is taking atorvastatin, but does not know the dosage amount. The pill is a small yellow oval tablet with the letters SG on one side and 152 on the other side. She takes one tablet per day. Can you tell me the dose? Thank you. Jerome Gilman

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

She can take Atorvastatin drug 10 mg once daily in the evening or bedtime. The small yellow oval tablet having an imprint SG 152 has been identified as Atorvastatin calcium 10 mg.

Atorvastatin is a statin drug commonly used in the treatment of high blood cholesterol to prevent cardiovascular disease and stroke. It is best taken in the evening or at bedtime.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
