Rositor 20 Mg 14 Tablets

Rositor 20 Mg 14 Tablets

Description:

Rositor 20 mg is a prescription oral lipid-lowering medicine containing rosuvastatin, a statin (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor) used to reduce high cholesterol and triglycerides and to help prevent cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. Each pack contains 14 film-coated tablets formulated for adults who require intensive control of elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular risk management plan that includes diet, exercise, and lifestyle modification.

Indications:

• Treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia (including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia) in adults as an adjunct to diet when response to diet and other non-pharmacological measures is inadequate.
• Treatment of mixed dyslipidemia (elevated LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol) as an adjunct to diet.
• Treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia as an adjunct to diet and other lipid-lowering treatments (such as LDL apheresis) or when such treatments are not appropriate.
• Prevention of major cardiovascular events (such as myocardial infarction, stroke, or arterial revascularization procedures) in patients at high risk for a first cardiovascular event, in addition to correction of other risk factors.
• Reduction of elevated LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, and triglycerides, and increase of HDL cholesterol.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Rosuvastatin (as rosuvastatin calcium) – 20 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Excipients: The full list of inactive ingredients (excipients, colorants, stabilizers) is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the official package leaflet for complete excipient details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Rositor 20 mg tablets are for oral use only and should be swallowed whole with water, with or without food, at approximately the same time each day.
• The usual starting dose of rosuvastatin in adults is 5–10 mg once daily, adjusted according to individual patient response and lipid profile. Rositor 20 mg is typically used in patients who require a higher intensity of LDL cholesterol reduction or have not achieved target levels with lower doses, as directed by a physician.
• Maximum recommended daily dose for most patients is 40 mg rosuvastatin; however, 40 mg is reserved for severe hypercholesterolemia at very high cardiovascular risk and must only be used under specialist supervision. Do not exceed the dose prescribed by your doctor.
• Patients with renal impairment, hepatic impairment, those of Asian origin, or those taking interacting medicines may require lower starting and maximum doses. Dose adjustment must be determined by the treating physician.
• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed tablet.
• Rositor should be used as an adjunct to a cholesterol-lowering diet. Patients should continue their standard low-cholesterol diet before and during treatment.
• Use in children and adolescents: Dosing in pediatric patients is specialized and must follow a doctor’s prescription and official guidelines. Do not give this medicine to children without medical supervision.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides potent, dose-dependent reduction of LDL cholesterol, helping achieve target lipid levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia.
• Lowers plasma triglycerides and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), contributing to overall improvement of the lipid profile.
• Increases high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, supporting healthier cholesterol balance and cardiovascular protection.
• Helps reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events (such as heart attack and stroke) in high-risk patients when used alongside lifestyle modifications.
• Acts by competitively inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, reducing hepatic cholesterol synthesis and increasing hepatic LDL receptor expression, which enhances clearance of LDL and intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL) from the bloodstream.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to rosuvastatin or any of the excipients.
• Contraindicated in patients with active liver disease, including unexplained persistent elevations of serum transaminases, and in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
• Contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception. If pregnancy occurs, discontinue rosuvastatin immediately and contact a doctor.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of liver disease, heavy alcohol use, renal impairment, hypothyroidism, or a personal or family history of hereditary muscular disorders.
• Statins, including rosuvastatin, may rarely cause myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. The risk is increased with higher doses, advanced age, renal impairment, uncontrolled hypothyroidism, or concomitant use of certain medicines (e.g., some fibrates, niacin in lipid-lowering doses, cyclosporine, protease inhibitors). Inform your doctor of all medicines you are taking.
• Patients should promptly report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, weakness, or cramps, particularly if accompanied by malaise or fever. Treatment may need to be stopped and creatine kinase (CK) levels checked.
• Liver function tests should be performed before starting therapy and periodically thereafter as clinically indicated.
• Use with caution in patients with diabetes or at risk of developing diabetes, as statins may slightly increase blood glucose levels; monitoring may be required.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as liver disease, kidney disease, thyroid disorders, or muscle disorders.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without medical supervision. This is a prescription-only medicine and must be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, constipation, nausea, muscle pain (myalgia), and weakness. These are usually mild and transient.
• Less common side effects can include itching, rash, joint pain, and elevations in liver enzymes or creatine kinase (CK) levels.
• Serious but rare side effects include myopathy, rhabdomyolysis (severe muscle breakdown), severe muscle pain or weakness with dark urine, hepatitis, jaundice, and severe allergic reactions (such as angioedema). Seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
• Some patients may experience increases in blood sugar levels or new-onset diabetes, especially in those already at risk.
• If you experience persistent or severe side effects, or any symptoms that concern you, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
