Y2Rose Tab 20mg (Rosuvastatin Calcium)

Adult dosage

It can be taken at any time during the day regardless of meals. The initial dosage is 5 mg once daily, and if greater LDL-cholesterol reduction is required, it can be adjusted to a maintenance dose.

The maintenance dosage can be adjusted based on LDL-cholesterol levels, therapeutic goals, and patient response at intervals of at least 4 weeks.

The usual dosage range is 5 mg to 20 mg once daily. The dosage should be individually adjusted according to the recommended therapeutic goals for each patient. Dosage adjustments should occur at intervals of at least 4 weeks or longer.

This drug should not be used in patients with certain diseases or conditions. For example, patients who are allergic to any component of this drug, those with severely impaired liver function, muscle disorders, severe renal impairment, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not take this medication. Furthermore, due to the potential for muscular side effects, it should be used cautiously in patients at high risk of muscle pain, myopathy, or rhabdomyolysis. Such patients should regularly undergo blood tests to monitor muscle enzyme levels. Patients with liver function abnormalities or a history of excessive alcohol consumption also require caution, and regular liver function tests should be conducted during treatment. This medication may raise blood glucose levels in some patients, so individuals at risk of diabetes should regularly check their blood sugar levels. Additionally, this drug may interact with other medications, so patients should inform their healthcare provider of any other medications being taken, especially those that carry a risk of muscle toxicity. Women who may become pregnant should use appropriate contraception, and this drug should not be used during pregnancy. Its use is also not recommended while breastfeeding. In cases of overdose, there is no specific antidote; thus, treatment should focus on symptom management, along with monitoring of liver function and muscle enzymes. If symptoms such as dizziness or muscle pain occur during treatment, patients should immediately consult their healthcare provider, and discontinue use if serious side effects are suspected.
