ROSAVE C 10 10S

About

Rosuvastatin is a highly effective HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, a class of drugs known as statins, which significantly lowers elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides, while also increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). It acts by blocking a key enzyme in the liver responsible for cholesterol synthesis, thereby reducing the overall cholesterol burden and mitigating the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a naturally occurring antioxidant and a vital component in cellular energy production. It is often co-administered with statins because statins can deplete the body's natural CoQ10 levels, which some studies suggest may contribute to statin-associated muscle symptoms. This combination aims to provide comprehensive lipid management while potentially reducing the incidence or severity of muscle-related side effects.

Uses

• Treatment of hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia.
• Reduction of cardiovascular risk in high-risk patients.
• Supplementation of CoQ10 levels depleted by statin therapy.
• Potential mitigation of statin-associated muscle symptoms.

Directions For Use

Take one tablet orally once daily, with or without food, as directed by your physician. Do not chew or crush the tablet.

Benefits

• Potent reduction in LDL-C and triglycerides.
• Improved HDL-C levels.
• Restoration of CoQ10 levels.
• Potential relief from statin-induced muscle pain.
• Enhanced cellular energy production.
• Overall cardiovascular health support.

Side Effects

• Muscle pain or tenderness.
• Headache.
• Nausea.
• Abdominal discomfort.
• Diarrhea.
• Constipation.
• Fatigue.
• Dizziness.
• Elevated liver enzymes.
• Rash.
• Insomnia.
• Pancreatitis (rare).

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Avoid excessive alcohol consumption as it can increase the risk of liver damage and muscle side effects associated with rosuvastatin.
• Pregnancy - Rosuvastatin is contraindicated during pregnancy due to potential fetal harm. CoQ10 safety in pregnancy is not fully established; consult a doctor.
• Breastfeeding - Not recommended during breastfeeding as rosuvastatin may pass into breast milk. CoQ10 safety during lactation is unclear.
• Liver - Use with caution in patients with liver impairment; contraindicated in active liver disease. Regular monitoring of liver function tests is essential.
• Kidney - Dose adjustment for rosuvastatin may be necessary in patients with severe kidney impairment. CoQ10 generally safe.
• Lung - Generally considered safe for patients with lung conditions. No specific contraindications related to lung health.
