Always take the dose as prescribed by the doctor. It is very important to consume medicine timely. The generally recommended dose ranges from 100-200 mg once a day. With time, dose adjustments are generally made according to the patient’s response. Swallow the whole tablet with one glass full of water. Do not crush or chew it. A single dose of Lipicard can be taken once a day. It should be taken empty stomach, probably about 1 hour before the meal.

It can sometimes be taken at least two hours after the last meal. It is best to take it same time daily because it shows the best results and helps to remember when to take the drug.
