Rosuvastatin (Crestor) is indicated for the treatment of:
Rosuvastatin:The recommended starting dose of rosuvastatin in patients with symptomatic rhabdomyosarcoma in the following age group:
Children:Adults:
Elderly patients:The elderly patients are recommended to be given rosuvastatin at a dose of 5 mg to 10 mg per day for at least 8 weeks. The maximum daily dose should be no more than 6.00 mg per day.
Adults and adolescent patients:The doses should be adjusted downward to a recommended starting dose of 10 mg per day based on the patient's age and body weight.
The elderly patients are recommended to be given rosuvastatin at a dose of 1.5 mg to 5 mg per day for at least 8 weeks. The maximum daily dose should be no more than 5.00 mg per day.
The doses should be adjusted downward to a recommended starting dose of 10 mg to 20 mg per day based on the patient's age and body weight.
The maximum daily dose should be no more than 10.00 mg per day.
Rosuvastatin is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to it (e.g., sulfites) or any component of the medication (e.g., calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, other organic orziandron or cimetidine).
Rosuvastatin should not be given in combination with any other medications (see section 4.4).
Rosuvastatin may increasehoffokinetics. This is because of interaction with other drugs which may increase the amount of drug absorbed by the patient. Therefore, this may increase the need for oral absorption of rosuvastatin. In addition, the combination of rosuvastatin with other medications may increase the chances of drug interaction.Ojmalina® (rosuvastatin calcium tablets; Pfizer) is indicated for:
- rhabdomyosplenectomy.
Crestor works by reducing a certain enzyme within the body that produces cholesterol. It belongs to a class of medications called statins.
Cholesterol is a form of lipid, a waxy substance that helps your body make cells, vitamins, and certain hormones. It is not inherently bad. Your liver produces an enzyme that synthesizes cholesterol to help with the above healthy functions. Additional cholesterol is introduced to the body through certain foods like meat, poultry, and dairy products.
There are two types of cholesterol: high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) and low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). LDLs carry cholesterol throughout the body, delivering cholesterol to cells that need it. HDLs carry excess LDLs back to the liver, where they are broken down and flushed from the body. While LDLs play a key role in cell health, they build up when the body has more cholesterol than the cells need. This buildup turns into plaque in the arteries (blood vessels). As plaque covers the artery walls, the blood vessels become narrow. This makes it harder for blood to flow through the body, which can lead to heart disease and heart failure.
Statins work by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver, which lowers the overall cholesterol levels in the body. Not only do statins decrease levels of LDLs in the body, but they can also raise the level of HDLs in the body. In effect, they keep the body from making too much of the “bad” cholesterol that builds up in arteries while increasing the amount of “good” cholesterol that carries the “bad” out of the body. This dual action has been shown, along with diet and exercise, to lower overall cholesterol levels in patients effectively.
Crestor (rosuvastatin) can decrease levels of LDLs. Your doctor can help you keep your cholesterol levels between 50 and 100%. Doctors may recommend a lower dose if LDL levels are not healthy enough to keep a low cholesterol level (or if you are overweight or obese). Use of a dose-ranging combination of these two medications will not only help lower your risk of heart disease but could reduce the risk of also developing certain cancers (such as types of breast and ovarian cancer). Lower doses of CRESTOR can also be beneficial for those with high cholesterol (which can be present in other forms of high cholesterol, such as those with low HDL levels). Inactive ingredients (e.g., corn starch, lactose, magnesium stearate, and talc) are included in the medication to increase how long it takes for CRESTOR to take effect and minimise the risk of side effects. A free base, sodium lauryl sulfate ( lauryl salicylate), is included in the medication to enhance how long it takes for CRESTOR to work and help keep cholesterol levels at a low level. (See list above for a list of dosing details.)A low-fat diet will help to reduce cholesterol levels in the body. Your doctor can advise you on a diet that is low in saturated and trans fat (e.g., low-sodium foods like tomatoes, avraints, and cumin). Avoid foods that are high in fats, like meats, high-calorie diets (e.g., high-fats foods like beans, lentils, and lentils) while in the know about CRESTOR. A low-fat diet and exercise can help you keep a healthy weight. A low-fat diet and diet high in saturated fat (e.g., foods like potatoes, lentils, and energy drinks) will help to help reduce cholesterol levels in the body. Avoid too much of these types of foods and drinks; they can cause heart disease and kidney problems. Taking CRESTOR with food high in trans fat may help reduce the risk of developing this condition. CRESTOR is not intended for use by women and men who are pregnant or may be breastfeeding.
