ROSTIN2.1.3 Market Trends
Lipid is another word for fat. Lipids are easily stored in your body and serve as a source of energy. Cholesterol is a lipid.When the concentration of cholesterol in your blood is too high, it is called hypercholesterolaemia.
In hypercholesterolaemia, small fatty patches called atheroma develop within the inside lining of your blood vessels. Over time, these patches can make a blood vessel narrower and this is called atherosclerosis This narrowing reduces the blood flow through the artery and increases the risk of a number of heart and blood vessel diseases, such as heart attack and stroke.
Rosuvastatin reduces the amount of lipids such as cholesterol made by your body.This lowers your risk of heart and blood vessel disease. It can also reduce this risk, even if your cholesterol levels are normal, if you are at an increased risk of heart disease.
South Asian Pharmaceuticals Limited
ROSTIN2.1.3 Market Trends
Atorvastatin, a lipid lowering agent causes myalgia which is seen in lesser extent and in lesser severity with Rosuvastatin therapy. Furthermore, atorvastatin is prone to type-II diabetes mellitus, and patients with hepatic dysfunction should avoid atorvastatin as it alters the normal SGPT and others liver functioning enzymes’ secretion and their functions. Atorvastatin also causes erectile dysfunction in long term treatment.
On the other hand, Rosuvastatin is a third generation lipid lowering agent which shows almost least extent of the above stated adverse effects caused by atorvastatin and the biggest advantage of Rosuvastatin is- it doesn’t causes hepatic dysfunction, thus can be prescribed in jaundice patients.
Though atorvastatin is prescribed most all around the world frequently as a first choice of lipid lowering agent. As now we have updated drug in hand, shouldn't we use that instead?

South Asian Pharmaceuticals Limited
ROSTIN5.3 Contingency Planning
South Asian Pharmaceuticals Limited
ROSTINRecommendation
Patients who qualify for statins therapy are
either not being treated, being under-treated,
or both.
Aggressive lipid lowering beyond current
guidelines appears to be more efficacious in
reducing morbidity & mortality.
South Asian Pharmaceuticals Limited
ROSTINRecommendation
Though atorvastatin is prescribed most all around the world frequently as a first choice of lipid lowering agent. As now we have updated drug in hand, shouldn't we use that instead?
ROSTIN is not right for everyone. Do not take ROSTIN if you are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant; have liver problems; or have had an allergic reaction to ROSTIN
Your doctor should do blood tests to check your liver before starting treatment with ROSTIN and if you have symptoms of liver problems while taking ROSTIN
Rosuvastatin is the most potent member of statin family that has ability to regress Atherosclerosis.
