Atorvastatin 10 – 80 mg Once daily, usually at night (statins are most effective when taken at bedtime because cholesterol synthesis peaks during sleep).
Simvastatin 5 – 20 mg Once daily; if you take it in the evening or at bedtime, keep the dose ≤ 10 mg to avoid possible side‑effects with longer half‑life.
Rosuvastatin (Rosiglitazone is a different drug) 2.5 – 40 mg Once daily, can be taken any time of day; evening dosing may help if you have trouble remembering the dose.
Why timing matters
Pharmacokinetics: Most statins reach their peak plasma concentration several hours after ingestion and then decline gradually. Taking them at the same time each day keeps blood levels relatively constant.
Sleep‑related benefits: If your medication has a sedative effect (some people feel drowsy), taking it before bed may help you sleep. On the other hand, if you experience insomnia or jitteriness, take it earlier in the day.
Practical Tips
Set an alarm on your phone for the same time every morning and evening. This will serve as a cue to take your medication.
Use a pill organizer with labeled compartments for each dose. That way you can see if you've taken one or missed it.
Keep a small journal next to your alarm clock or in your phone notes: write "med" and the time you took it. If you forget, you'll have a record of when it was missed.
Pair medication with another daily activity. For example, take it right after brushing your teeth or while making breakfast.
What to do if I miss a dose
If you remember within an hour of the scheduled time: Take the dose as soon as possible.
If more than an hour has passed but before the next dose is due: Take the missed dose right away, then skip it for the next scheduled time so you don't double‑dose.
If you are close to or past the next scheduled dose: Skip the missed dose entirely and resume your regular schedule.
How often will I see my healthcare provider?
Initial follow‑up: 1–2 weeks after starting therapy, sooner if side effects appear.
Subsequent visits: Every 3–6 months to monitor response and adjust dosage if needed.
If you develop any new symptoms or feel that the medication isn’t helping as expected, contact your provider immediately.
