GENERIC: Rosuvastatin 5mg
MANUFACTURER: Werrick Pharma
QUANTITY
10 tablets
INDICATION
Pasage 5mg Tablets contain rosuvastatin at a lower starting dose, indicated for patients initiating statin therapy for primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia. The 5mg dose is recommended as the starting point for patients of Asian descent, elderly patients, those with mild renal impairment, and patients at risk of myopathy. It provides meaningful LDL cholesterol reduction while allowing cautious dose titration based on individual response.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Rosuvastatin competitively inhibits HMG-CoA reductase in the liver, reducing intracellular cholesterol synthesis and upregulating LDL receptor expression. Even at the 5mg dose, rosuvastatin can reduce LDL cholesterol by approximately 38 to 45%, making it one of the most potent statins at low doses. Its hydrophilic nature provides hepatoselectivity and a favorable safety profile.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
● Adults: 5mg once daily as the starting dose
● Adjust dose after 4 weeks based on lipid levels and therapeutic goals
● May be increased to 10mg or 20mg if additional LDL reduction is needed
● Take at the same time each day, with or without food
● Swallow whole with water
● Patients on concurrent medications that increase statin exposure should remain at the lowest effective dose
SIDE EFFECTS
Common:
● Headache
● Myalgia and muscle tenderness
● Abdominal pain and nausea
● Constipation
Less common:
● Rhabdomyolysis (rare at this dose but possible)
● Elevated hepatic transaminases
● New-onset diabetes with prolonged use
● Proteinuria (usually transient)
NOT RECOMMENDED IN
● Known hypersensitivity to rosuvastatin
● Active liver disease or unexplained elevated liver enzymes
● Pregnancy and breastfeeding
● Concurrent cyclosporine use
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Cyclosporine is contraindicated. Gemfibrozil increases myopathy risk. Monitor INR with warfarin co-administration. Space antacids by 2 hours. Protease inhibitors may increase exposure.
