Cresant 10mg Tablet (Rosuvastatin Calcium)

Adult dose

This medication can be administered at any time of the day regardless of meals. The initial dose is 5 milligrams once daily, and if greater LDL cholesterol reduction is needed, it can be adjusted to a maintenance dose. The maintenance dose is commonly 10 milligrams once daily, which most patients are adjusted to. The maintenance dose should be adjusted appropriately based on LDL cholesterol levels, treatment goals, and patient response at intervals of 4 weeks or more.

Child dose

The typical dose range is 5 to 20 milligrams once daily. The dosage should be individually adjusted based on the recommended treatment goals for each patient, with adjustments made at intervals of 4 weeks or more.

This medication should not be used in certain patients. For example, patients with an allergy to this drug or active liver disease should not receive it. Also, it should not be administered to patients with muscular diseases or severe renal impairment, or to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. This medication contains lactose and is not suitable for patients with lactose intolerance. Patients who consume alcohol heavily or have a history of liver disease should undergo liver function tests before taking this medication and should consult a physician immediately if liver function worsens. Any symptoms such as myalgia or muscle weakness should be reported to medical staff immediately, and muscle enzyme tests should be performed if necessary. This medication may interact with other drugs, so inform healthcare providers of any medications being taken. Special caution is needed when combined with certain antivirals, immunosuppressants, and some antibiotics, as the risk of muscular adverse reactions may increase. Women who can become pregnant should use appropriate contraception during treatment and stop taking the medication immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. There is no specific antidote in case of overdose, so treatment will be symptomatic, and liver function and muscle enzymes should be checked periodically. Additionally, this medication may rarely cause skin rashes or severe allergic reactions, so if there are any skin abnormalities, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Caution is needed when driving or operating machinery, as dizziness may occur.
