Rosuvast 10 Mg 14 Tablets

Rosuvast 10 Mg 14 Tablets

Description:

Rosuvast 10 mg 14 tablets is a prescription 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. It works by inhibiting cholesterol synthesis in the liver, lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Rosuvast 10 mg is intended for adults and certain adolescents as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular risk reduction plan that includes a healthy diet, exercise, and lifestyle modification.

Indications:

• Treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol), including familial and non-familial forms.
• Treatment of mixed dyslipidemia (elevated cholesterol and triglycerides).
• Adjunct to diet in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia to reduce total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and apoB.
• Prevention of major cardiovascular events (such as myocardial infarction, stroke, or need for revascularization) in patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease.
• Reduction of LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, and increase of HDL cholesterol in patients with dyslipidemia.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Rosuvastatin calcium – 10 mg per film-coated tablet (equivalent to 10 mg rosuvastatin).
• Excipients: Information on inactive ingredients (such as tablet core and coating components) is not available in the provided data. Please refer to the package insert for full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Usual starting dose for adults: 5–10 mg once daily, adjusted by the physician according to lipid profile, response, and tolerability. Rosuvast 10 mg is a commonly prescribed maintenance dose.
• Maximum dose: Typically up to 40 mg once daily, only in selected high-risk patients under close medical supervision.
• Take the tablet once daily, at the same time each day, with or without food, swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew.
• Use as an adjunct to a cholesterol-lowering diet: Continue a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet and lifestyle changes (exercise, weight control, smoking cessation) as advised by your doctor.
• Dosage in patients with kidney or liver impairment, elderly patients, or those taking interacting drugs must be individualized and reduced as directed by the physician.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed tablet.
• Do not stop taking Rosuvast 10 mg without consulting your doctor, as cholesterol levels may rise again and cardiovascular risk may increase.

Clinical Benefits:

• Effectively lowers LDL ("bad") cholesterol and total cholesterol, helping to control hyperlipidemia and dyslipidemia.
• Reduces triglyceride levels and VLDL, improving overall lipid profile and cardiovascular risk markers.
• Increases HDL ("good") cholesterol, supporting better cardiovascular health and arterial protection.
• Helps prevent serious cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, and the need for coronary revascularization in high-risk patients.
• Provides potent, dose-dependent cholesterol lowering with once-daily dosing for convenient long-term therapy.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with active liver disease, unexplained persistent elevations of serum transaminases, or severe hepatic impairment.
• Contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding: statins may harm the fetus or nursing infant. Women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception.
• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to rosuvastatin or any component of the formulation.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of liver disease, heavy alcohol use, kidney impairment, hypothyroidism, or personal/family history of hereditary muscle disorders.
• Risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis: report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially if accompanied by malaise or fever. Treatment may need to be stopped.
• Monitor liver function tests and lipid profile periodically as recommended by your physician.
• Potential drug interactions with cyclosporine, certain antivirals, fibrates (e.g., gemfibrozil), niacin in lipid-lowering doses, some antibiotics, and other medicines that may increase the risk of muscle problems. Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as liver disease, kidney disease, thyroid disorders, diabetes, or muscle disorders.
