ROSUVASTATIN
Description
Rosuvastatin calcium is a synthetic lipid-lowering agent. Rosuvastatin is an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A
(HMG-CoA) reductase. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, an early and rate-limiting step in cholesterol
biosynthesis.
Indications
Rosuvastatin is indicated:
1. As an adjunct to diet to reduce elevated total cholesterol, LDL-C, apolipoprotein B, and triglyceride (TG) levels and to
increase HDL-C in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia (heterozygous familial and nonfamilial) and mixed dyslipidemia.
2. As an adjunct to diet for the treatment of patients with elevated serum TG levels.
3. To reduce total-C, LDL-C, and apolipoprotein B in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia as an adjunct to other
lipid lowering treatments.
