Pharmacology

Rosuvastatin is a selective and competitive inhibitor of HMGCoA reductase. HMGCoA reductase is the rate-limiting enzyme that converts 3-hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA to mevalonate (the precursor of cholesterol). Rosuvastatin produces its lipid modification effect in two ways. First, it increases the number of liver low-density lipoprotein receptors on the cell surface to enhance the absorption and catabolism of low-density lipoprotein. Secondly, Rosuvastatin inhibits liver VLDL synthesis and reduces the total number of VLDL and LDL particles.

Gemfibrosil: Conjoint use should be avoided. If used together, the dose of rosuvastatin should be limited to 10 mg once a day. 
 

Lopinavir / Ritonavir or Atazanavir / Ritonavir: Combination use will increase rosuvastatin exposure. The dose of rosuvastatin should be 10 mg per day.
