✅ Description:
Indications
The class of medications known as statins includes Rovast 20. It lowers cholesterol and lowers the chance of developing heart disease. A fatty substance called cholesterol causes your blood vessels to narrow as it accumulates, which can result in a heart attack or stroke.
Pharmacology
Rosuvastatin is a selective and competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase. HMG-CoA reductase is the limit for the conversion of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA to mevalonate (a cholesterol precursor). Speed enzyme. Rosuvastatin produces its lipid modification effect in two ways. First, it increases the number of liver low-density lipoprotein receptors on the cell surface to enhance the absorption and catabolism of low-density lipoprotein. Secondly, Rosuvastatin inhibits liver VLDL synthesis and reduces the total number of VLDL and LDL particles.
Dosage & Administration
- Dose range: 5-40 mg once daily. Use 40 mg dose only for patients not reaching LDL-C goal with 20 mg
- HoFH: Starting dose 20 mg/day.
- Pediatric patients with HeFH: 5-10 mg/day for patients 8 to less than 10 years ago, and 5-20 mg/day for patients 10 to 17 years of age.
- Pediatric patients with HoFH: 20 mg/day for patients 7 to 17 years of age.

- Gemfibrozil: Combination should be avoided. If used together, the Rosuvastatin dose should be limited to 10 mg once daily.
- Lopinavir/Ritonavir or atazanavir/ritonavir: Combination increases Rosuvastatin exposure. Rosuvastatin dose should be to 10 mg once daily.
