Taken orally once daily, often at night, with or without food, it’s prescribed for adults with high cholesterol or heart disease risk. It’s effective in managing dyslipidemia, especially in diabetics. Side effects may include muscle pain, nausea, or headache, with rare risks of liver damage or rhabdomyolysis.
