Compound:

Rosuvastatin – 10 mg.

Properties:

Rosuvastatin is a synthetic lipid-lowering agent from the statin group, an inhibitor of GMC-CoA reductase. Inhibition of the activity of HMG-CoA reductase leads to a series of successive reactions, resulting in a decrease in the intracellular cholesterol content and a compensatory increase in the activity of LDL receptors and, accordingly, an acceleration of LDL cholesterol (Xc) catabolism.

Indications:

Treatment of hypercholesterolemia in adults, adolescents, and children 10 years of age and older with primary hypercholesterolemia (type IIa, including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia) or mixed hypercholesterolemia (type IIb) as an adjunct to diet when diet and other non-drug treatments (exercise, weight loss) are not sufficient. Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia as an adjunct to diet and other cholesterol-lowering therapy, or when such therapy is not appropriate for the patient. Primary prevention of major cardiovascular complications (stroke, heart attack) in adult patients without clinical signs of coronary artery disease, but with an increased risk of its development.

Application mode:

Before starting treatment, the patient should be placed on a standard cholesterol-lowering diet, which should be continued during treatment. The dose should be selected individually in accordance with the purpose of therapy and the patient’s response. The drug can be taken at any time of the day, regardless of the meal. The dose range is 5-40 mg 1 time per day. Treatment of hypercholesterolemia: The recommended starting dose is 5 or 10 mg orally once a day. With severe hyperlipidemia, the initial dose may be 20 mg. You can adjust the dose for an increase after 4 weeks if necessary. Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia in pediatric patients (10–17 years): The usual dose range is 5–20 mg/day; children from 6 to 9 years are recommended 5-10 mg 1 time per day; children from 10 to 17 years old – 5-20 mg 1 time per day.

Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: The recommended starting dose is 20 mg once daily. For Asian patients, consider starting therapy with 5 mg once daily.
