Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that there is no problem in substituting two tablets of Rozat F10mg with one of 20mg.
It is quite the same thing.
So she can take two tablets of Rozat F10mg instead of one tablet Rozat F 20mg.
I would recommend periodically check her blood lipid profile, in order to make the proper dose adjustments if necessary in the future (this is not a low dose).
If she experiences symptoms like chronic fatigue, nausea or muscular cramps or pain, I would recommend consulting with her doctor as these symptoms are possible adverse effects of this drug. In such case a reduce in the dose should be considered.
Hope to have been helpful!
Feel free to ask any other questions whenever you need!
