I'm dealing with a bit of high cholesterol, and my doctor recommended taking Roseday 5 mg daily. But right now, I'm in Malaysia and can't seem to find Roseday here. Do you think it's okay for me to take Crestor 5 mg instead until I can get my hands on Roseday? Would that be safe?

I'm wondering about taking my Metzok 50 tablet at a new time. I usually take it at 9 am, but I'm considering switching to 3 am. Is that okay to do?

Its generally fine to adjust the time you take Metzok 50 (metoprolol) by a few hours, but its best to consult your healthcare provider before making a permanent change.
