Rovator 10 mg Tablet, 1 Strip
Description:
Rovator (Rosuvastatin) is a selective and competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme that converts 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A to mevalonate, a precursor of cholesterol. Rosuvastatin produces its lipid-modifying effects in two ways. First, it increases the number of hepatic LDL receptors on the cell surface to enhance uptake and catabolism of LDL. Second, Rosuvastatin inhibits hepatic synthesis of VLDL, which reduces the total number of VLDL and LDL particles.

Dosage & Administration
General Dosing: General dose in adults is 5-40 mg once daily. The usual starting dose is 10- 20 mg once daily. The usual starting dose for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (adult) is 20 mg once daily. The maximum dose of 40 mg . When initiating therapy or switching from another HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, the appropriate starting dose should first be utilized, and then dose can be titrated accordingly. After initiation or upon titration, lipid levels should be analyzed within 2-4 weeks and the dosage will be adjusted accordingly.
Rovator can be administered as at any time of day, with or without food. Dosing in Asian Patients: In Asian patients, consider initiation therapy with 5 mg once daily.
Pediatric Dosing: In heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: Children (8-10 years): 5-10 mg once Daily Children (11-17 years): 5-20 mg once Daily In homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (7-17 years), the recommended dose is 20 mg once daily.

Precaution
Skeletal muscle effects (e.g., myopathy and rhabdomyolysis): Risks increase with use of 40 mg dose, advanced age (>65 year), hypothyroidism, renal impairment and combination use with Cyclosporine, Lopinavir/Ritonavir, Atazanavir/Ritonavir or certain other lipid-lowering drugs. Patients should be advised to promptly report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness. Rosuvastatin can be discontinued if signs or symptoms appear.
Liver enzyme abnormalities and monitoring: Persistent elevations in hepatic transaminases can occur. Liver enzymes should be monitored before and during treatment

Drug Interaction
Cyclosporine: Combination increases Rosuvastatin exposure. Rosuvastatin dose should be limited to 5 mg once daily.
Gemfibrosil: Combination should be avoided. If used together, 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.
Coumarin anticoagulants:Combination prolongs international normalized ratio (INR). Stable INR should be achieved prior to starting Rosuvastatin. INR should be monitored frequently until stable upon initiation or alteration of Rosuvastatin therapy.
Concomitant lipid-lowering therapies: Use with Fibrates and Niacin products may increase the risk of skeletal muscle effects.
Gemfibrosil: Combination should be avoided. If used together, Rosuvastatin dose should be limited to 10 mg once daily.
