Rosuro Tablet 10mg (Rosuvastatin Calcium)

Adult dose

The initial dose is 5mg once daily, and it can be adjusted for maintenance if greater LDL-cholesterol reductions are needed. The maintenance dose is usually 10mg once daily, and most patients are controlled at this dosage. The maintenance dose should be appropriately adjusted after intervals of 4 weeks or longer based on LDL-cholesterol levels, therapeutic goals, and patient response, up to a maximum of 20mg per day.

Child dose

The usual dosage range for pediatric patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (aged 10 to 17) is 5mg to 20mg once daily. The dosages should be individually adjusted according to the recommended therapeutic goals for each patient.

This drug should not be used in certain patients. For example, patients with allergies to any component of this drug, severe liver dysfunction, muscle disorders, severe renal impairment, pregnant or lactating women, and those taking specific medications should not be administered this drug. Before taking this drug, regular liver function tests and muscle-related tests are required, and patients with a history of liver disease or heavy alcohol consumption should exercise extra caution. Symptoms such as muscle pain, weakness, or cramps should be reported to medical personnel immediately. This drug can interact with other medications, so if patients are taking other medications, they must inform their doctor or pharmacist. Particularly, the risk of muscle damage may increase when taken with certain antiviral agents, immunosuppressants, antibiotics, and fibrate derivatives. Women of childbearing potential should use appropriate contraceptive methods, and this drug should not be taken during pregnancy. Additionally, breastfeeding women should avoid taking this medication. In cases of overdose, there is no specific antidote, so treatment should be symptomatic, and monitoring of liver function and muscle enzyme levels is necessary. Patients may experience dizziness while taking this drug, so caution should be exercised when driving or operating machinery.
