Ask the Pharmacist

Is it possible to exceed the recommended dosage of Cardiol?

Dear Edoardo,

The response refers to the old formulation of Cardiol: it included an initial dosage of 2 to 3 capsules per day and was composed of Omega-3, phytosterols, and hydroxytyrosol. It was later revised to create an even more effective supplement against hypercholesterolemia.

Red yeast rice, policosanols, bioflavonoids, and other important active ingredients were added to provide the product with an even more complete cardiovascular preventive action. The recommended dose for the Cardiol you usually use is 1 capsule per day, to be taken before dinner.

Upon advice from your doctor, you may increase this dosage up to 2 capsules per day.

I remain available for any further information.

Kind regards,

Dr. Rosaria Ramondino Pharmacist and Pharmaceutical Chemist
