Rosuvastatin
HMG-CoA reductase is the rate-limiting enzyme that transforms 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A to mevalonate, a precursor of cholesterol. Rosuvastatin is a selective and competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase. Rosuvastatin has two mechanisms for altering lipid levels. To begin, it boosts the amount of hepatic LDL receptors on the cell surface, which improves LDL absorption and degradation. Second, Rosuvastatin decreases the total quantity of VLDL and LDL particles by inhibiting VLDL formation in the liver.

Effects on skeletal muscle (e.g., myopathy and rhabdomyolysis): Usage of the 40 mg dose, advanced age (>65 years), hypothyroidism, renal impairment, and use of cyclosporine, lopinavir/ritonavir, atazanavir/ritonavir, or certain other lipid-lowering medicines all enhance the risks. Patients should be encouraged to report any unexplained muscle discomfort, soreness, or weakness as soon as possible. If indications or symptoms arise, rosuvastatin can be stopped.
Abnormalities in liver enzymes and monitoring: Hepatic transaminases might be persistently elevated.
Before and during treatment, liver enzymes should be checked.
