Pharmacological effect
Lipid-lowering drug from the group of statins. Selective competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) -reductase - an enzyme that turns HMG-CoA into mevalonate, a precursor of cholesterol.; Increases the number of LDL receptors on the surface of hepatocytes, which leads to increased uptake and catabolism of LDL, inhibition of VLDL synthesis, reducing the total amount of LDL and VLDL. Reduces the increased concentration of LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), TG-VLDL, apolipoprotein B (ApoB), lowers the ratio of cholesterol-LDL / HDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol-LDL, total cholesterol, low cholesterol-LDL / cholesterol, total cholesterol, low cholesterol , cholesterol-non-HDL / cholesterol-HDL, apoB / apolipoprotein AI (ApoA-I), increases the concentration of HDL-cholesterol and ApoA-I.; The lipid-lowering effect is directly proportional to the size of the dose administered. The therapeutic effect appears within 1 week after the start of therapy, after 2 weeks it reaches 90% of the maximum, reaches its maximum by 4 weeks and remains constant after that. Effective in adult patients with hypercholesterolemia with or without hypertriglyceridemia (regardless of race, gender or age), incl. in patients with diabetes and familial hypercholesterolemia. In 80% of patients with hypercholesterolemia IIa and IIb type (classification according to Fredrickson) with an average baseline LDL cholesterol-level of about 4.8 mmol / l while receiving the drug in a dose of 10 mg, the concentration of cholesterol-LDL reaches less than 3 mmol / l. In patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia who take the drug at a dose of 20 mg and 40 mg, the average decrease in LDL cholesterol concentration is 22%; an additive effect is observed in combination with fenofibrate (with respect to a decrease in the TG concentration) and with nicotinic acid in lipid-lowering doses ≥ 1 g / day (in relation to increasing the concentration of HDL cholesterol).
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption; Cmax of rosuvastatin in the blood plasma is reached approximately 5 hours after taking the drug. Absolute bioavailability is approximately 20%. Systemic exposure of rosuvastatin increases in proportion to the dose. Pharmacokinetic parameters do not change with daily intake.; Distribution; It penetrates the placental barrier. Rosuvastatin is predominantly absorbed by the liver, which is the main site of cholesterol synthesis and metabolism of LDL-C. Vd - 134 l. Plasma protein binding (predominantly with albumin) is approximately 90%; Metabolism; Biotransformed in the liver to a small extent (about 10%), being a non-core substrate for cytochrome P450 isoenzymes. As in the case of other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, a specific membrane carrier, a polypeptide transporting the organic anion (OATP) 1B1, which plays an important role in its hepatic elimination, is involved in the process of hepatic capture of the drug. CYP2C9 is the main isoenzyme involved in rosuvastatin metabolism. CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and CYP2D6 isozymes are less involved in metabolism. The main metabolites of rosuvastatin are N-desmethyl and lactone metabolites. N-desmethyl is about 50% less active than rosuvastatin, lactone metabolites are pharmacologically inactive. More than 90% of the pharmacological activity on the inhibition of circulating HMG-CoA reductase is provided by rosuvastatin, the rest is provided by its metabolites; Excretion; About 90% of the dose of rosuvastatin is excreted unchanged through the intestine, the rest by the kidneys. T1 / 2 - about 19 hours, does not change with increasing dose of the drug. The average plasma clearance is approximately 50 l / h (coefficient of variation is 21.7%); Pharmacokinetics in special groups of patients; In patients with mild and moderate renal insufficiency, the plasma concentration of rosuvastatin or N-desmethyl does not change significantly. In patients with severe renal insufficiency (CC less than 30 ml / min), plasma concentration of rosuvastatin is 3 times higher, and N-desmethyl is 9 times higher than in healthy volunteers. The plasma concentration of rosuvastatin in hemodialysis patients is about 50% higher than in healthy volunteers. Patients with different stages of liver failure with a score of 7 or less on the Child-Pugh scale did not show an increase in T1 / 2 of rosuvastatin; in patients with grades 8 and 9 on the Child-Pugh scale, T1 / 2 lengthening was 2 times.There is no experience of using the drug in patients with more severe liver dysfunction.; Gender and age do not have a clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin.; Pharmacokinetic parameters depend on race: AUC in Japanese and Chinese is 2 times higher than in Europe and North America . In representatives of the Mongoloid race and Indians, the average value of AUC and Cmax increases 1.3 times.

For the Rosart daily dosage of 40 mg : the presence of risk factors for the development of myopathy and / or rhabdomyolysis - renal failure (QC more than 60 ml / min), age over 70 years, history of liver disease, sepsis, hypotension, extensive chi urgicheskie intervention, trauma, severe metabolic,endocrine or electrolyte disturbances or uncontrolled epilepsy.
Use during pregnancy and lactation
Rosart is contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation. Use of Rosart in women of reproductive age is possible only if reliable contraceptive methods are used and if the patient is aware of the possible risk of treatment for the fetus. Since cholesterol and substances synthesized from cholesterol are important for the development of the fetus , the potential risk of inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase exceeds the benefits of the use of the drug during pregnancy. If pregnancy is diagnosed during Rosart therapy, the drug should be immediately discontinued, and patients should be warned of the potential risk to the fetus. There are no data on the release of rosuvastatin with breast milk, so if you need to use the drug during lactation, given the possibility of adverse events in infants, the issue of discontinuing breastfeeding should be addressed.
Dosage and administration
The drug is taken orally, not chewed or crushed, swallowing whole, squeezed with water, regardless of the time of day and food intake.; Before starting treatment with Rozart, the patient should begin to follow a standard lipid-lowering diet and continue to follow it during treatment. individually, depending on the indications and therapeutic response, taking into account the current generally accepted recommendations for target lipid concentrations. The recommended initial dose of Rosart for patients starting the drug or for patients transferred from receiving other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors is 5 or 10 mg 1 time / day. When choosing the initial dose, one should be guided by the patient’s cholesterol concentration and take into account the risk of cardiovascular complications, and the potential risk of adverse reactions should be evaluated. If necessary, after 4 weeks the dose of the drug may be increased. Due to the possible development of side effects when taking a dose of 40 mg compared with lower doses of the drug,final titration to a maximum dose of 40 mg should be carried out only in patients with severe hypercholesterolemia and a high risk of cardiovascular complications (especially in patients with hereditary hypercholesterolemia) in whom the target cholesterol concentration was not reached when taking a dose of 20 mg be under medical supervision.; Especially careful monitoring of patients receiving the drug in a dose of 40 mg is recommended. After 2-4 weeks of therapy and / or increasing the dose of the drug, monitoring of lipid metabolism indices is necessary. In elderly patients older than 70 years, the recommended initial dose of Rosart is 5 mg, no other dose adjustment is required.; In patients with hepatic insufficiency, the Child- Drink below 7 points dose adjustment is not required. In patients with values of 8 and 9 on the Child-Pugh scale, a preliminary assessment of renal function should be carried out. The experience of using rosuvastatin in patients with hepatic impairment is higher than 9 on the Child-Pugh scale. Rosuvastatin is contraindicated in patients with liver disease in the active phase. In case of renal failure, mild or moderate severity of dose adjustment is not required. An initial dose of 5 mg is recommended for patients with moderately severe renal insufficiency (CC less than 60 ml / min). For patients with moderate renal insufficiency (CC less than 30-60 ml / min), the administration of the drug in a dose of 40 mg is contraindicated. Rosart is contraindicated in any doses to patients with severe renal failure (CC less than 30 ml / min); In patients of the Mongoloid race, an increase in the systemic concentration of rosuvastatin is possible. The initial recommended dose of the drug for patients of the Mongoloid race is 5 mg. The use of the drug in a dose of 40 mg is contraindicated in such patients.; There are known types of genetic polymorphism, which can lead to an increase in the systemic concentration of rosuvastatin. In patients with identified specific polymorphism, lower daily doses of rosuvastatin are recommended. The initial recommended dose for patients prone to the development of myopathy is 5 mg.The use of the drug at a dose of 40 mg in these patients is contraindicated.; Combination therapy; Rosuvastatin is a substrate for various transport proteins (for example, OATP1B1 and BCRP). The risk of myopathy, including rhabdomyolysis, is increased while taking rosuvastatin with drugs that increase the concentration of rosuvastatin in the blood plasma due to their interaction with transport proteins. This group of substances includes cyclosporine, HIV protease inhibitors, including a combination of ritonavir with atazanavir, lopinavir and / or tipranavir. Whenever possible, a decision should be made on the appointment of alternative therapy and, if necessary, to temporarily stop taking rosuvastatin. In the case where concurrent administration cannot be avoided, the potential risk of interaction and the potential benefits of co-treatment should be carefully assessed.
Side effects
According to clinical studies of rosuvastatin, as well as data from its post-marketing use, the following adverse reactions were observed in patients. The frequency of adverse reactions is distributed as follows: very often (> 1/10); often (from> 1/100 to less than 1/10); infrequently (from> 1/1000 to less than 1/100); rarely (from> 1/10 000 to less than 1/1000); very rarely (from less than 1/10 000); frequency unknown (according to available data to establish the frequency of occurrence is not possible). From the blood and lymphatic system: rarely - thrombocytopenia. From the nervous system: often - headache, dizziness, asthenic syndrome; very rarely - polyneuropathy, loss of memory; frequency is unknown - depression, peripheral neuropathy, sleep disturbances, including insomnia and nightmares. On the part of the digestive system: often - constipation, nausea, abdominal pain; rarely - pancreatitis; very rarely - hepatitis, jaundice; frequency unknown - diarrhea.; On the part of the respiratory system: frequency unknown - cough, shortness of breath, interstitial lung disease.; On the part of the endocrine system: often diabetes mellitus 1.; On the part of the musculoskeletal system: often - myalgia; rarely - myopathy (including myositis), rhabdomyolysis; very rarely - arthralgia; frequency unknown - immune necrotizing myopathy; tendon lesionssometimes with ruptures.; Allergic reactions: infrequently - pruritus, rash, urticaria; rarely - hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema.; On the part of the skin and subcutaneous tissues: frequency unknown - Stevens-Johnson syndrome; On the part of the urinary system: very rarely - hematuria.; On the part of the genitals and breast: very rare - gynecomastia .; Laboratory indicators: rarely - transient increase in AST and ALT activity.; Others: unknown frequency - peripheral edema.; to TG centration, arterial hypertension in history); as with other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, the incidence of adverse reactions is dose-dependent, side effects are usually mild and do not go away on their own. Effect on kidney function In the course of urinalysis, proteinuria, mainly tubular, was detected by test strips. Changes in the amount of protein in the urine (from the absence or trace amounts to ++ or more) were observed in less than 1% of patients receiving 10-20 mg of rosuvastatin, and in approximately 3% of patients receiving 40 mg of rosuvastatin. A slight change in the amount of protein in the urine (from the absence or trace amounts to +) was observed when taking a dose of 20 mg. In most cases, proteinuria decreases or disappears during therapy and does not mean the onset or progression of existing kidney disease.; Hematuria was observed in patients receiving rosuvastatin, available data showed a low incidence of this unwanted reaction.; Effect on the musculoskeletal system; the use of all doses of rosuvastatin, and especially when taking doses in excess of 20 mg, myalgia, myopathy, including myositis, have been reported in rare cases with rhabdomyolysis with the development of renal failure or operation without it;. When receiving rosuvastatin observed dose-dependent increase of CPK activity. In most cases, it was minor, asymptomatic and temporary. In the case of increased activity of CPK (more than 5 times compared to VGN), therapy should be suspended.; Effect on liver function; In a small number of patients with rosuvastatin, a dose-dependent increase in liver transaminase activity is observed.In most cases, it is small, asymptomatic, and temporary. With the use of some HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, sexual dysfunction was observed, isolated cases of interstitial lung disease were recorded.; The frequency of reports of the development of rhabdomyolysis, serious impaired renal function and liver liver transaminase activity) is higher when receiving a dose of rozuvastatin 40 mg.
Overdose
When several daily doses are taken simultaneously, the pharmacokinetic parameters of rosuvastatin do not change. Treatment: There is no specific treatment, symptomatic therapy and measures aimed at maintaining the function of vital organs and systems under the control of liver function and CPK activity are performed. It is unlikely that hemodialysis will be effective.
Interaction with other drugs
Transport protein inhibitors; Rosuvastatin is a substrate of several transport proteins, including the OATP1B1 membrane transporter involved in the process of hepatic uptake, and the BCRP transport protein. Simultaneous administration of rosuvastatin with drugs that inhibit these transport proteins may lead to an increase in plasma concentration of rosuvastatin and increase the risk of myopathy development; AUC 7 times, Cmax - 11 times). Simultaneous administration of cyclosporine and rosuvastatin is contraindicated. Simultaneous administration of erythromycin and rosuvastatin reduces the AUC of rosuvastatin by 20% and increases Cmax by 30%. Such an interaction may occur as a result of increased intestinal motility caused by taking erythromycin. In patients who receive indirect anticoagulants (for example, warfarin), monitoring of MHO is recommended, since initiating rosuvastatin therapy or increasing its dose may lead to an increase in MHO and withdrawal or decrease doses can lead to its reduction.; Gemfibrozil and other lipid-lowering drugs: the simultaneous administration of gemfibrozil and rosuvastatin increases Cmax and AUC of rosuvastatin by 2 times.Based on data on specific interactions, pharmacokinetically significant interactions with fenofibrate are not expected; pharmacodynamic interactions are possible. Gemfibrozil, fenofibrate, other fibrates and hypolipidemic doses of nicotinic acid (at least 1 g / day) increased the risk of myopathy while being used with other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, possibly due to the fact that they can cause myopathy and when used in as monotherapy. While taking rosuvastatin with one of the drugs in this group, an initial dose of rosuvastatin 5 mg is recommended for patients, the daily dose of rosuvastatin 40 mg is contraindicated in this case.; Simultaneous use of rosuvastatin and antacids containing aluminum and magnesium hydroxide reduces the plasma concentration of rosuvastatin by about 50 % This effect is less pronounced if antacids are applied 2 hours after taking rosuvastatin. The clinical significance of this interaction has not been studied. The simultaneous use of rosuvastatin and oral contraceptives increases the AUC of ethinyl estradiol and AUC of norgestrel by 26% and 34%, respectively, which should be considered when selecting the dose of oral contraceptives. Pharmacokinetic data on the simultaneous use of rosuvastatin and hormone replacement therapy are not available, therefore, a similar effect cannot be excluded when they are used together. However, this combination was widely used during the clinical trials of rosuvastatin and was well tolerated by patients. In vivo and in vitro results showed that rosuvastatin is neither an inhibitor nor an inducer of cytochrome P450 isoenzymes. Rosuvastatin is a non-core substrate for these isoenzymes. There was no clinically significant interaction with drugs such as fluconazole (an inhibitor of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 isoenzymes), ketoconazole (an inhibitor of CYP2A6 and CYP3A4 isoenzymes) associated with the cytochrome P450 system of metabolism; to an increase in AUC of rosuvastatin 1.2 times. However, pharmacodynamic interactions between rosuvastatin and ezetimibe cannot be ruled out with regard to the occurrence of adverse events.; Although the exact mechanism of interaction is unknown, the use of HIV protease inhibitors with rosuvastatin can lead to a pronounced increase in the exposure of rosuvastatin.A pharmacokinetic study of the simultaneous use of 20 mg of rosuvastatin with a combination preparation containing two HIV protease inhibitors (400 mg of lopinavir / 100 mg of ritonavir) in healthy volunteers resulted in an approximately twofold and fivefold increase in AUC0-24 and Cmax of rosuvastatin, respectively. Thus, the combined use of rosuvastatin with HIV protease inhibitors in HIV-infected patients is not recommended.; There is no clinically significant interaction of rosuvastatin with digoxin. Table 1 lists various types of interactions, including interactions requiring dose adjustment of rosuvastatin. It is necessary to adjust the dose of rosuvastatin, if necessary, simultaneous use with other drugs that increase the systemic concentration of rosuvastatin. If the expected increase in AUC is approximately 2 times or more, then the initial dose of rosuvastatin should be 5 mg 1 time / day. The daily dose of rosuvastatin should be adjusted so that its systemic concentration, taking into account its increase, does not exceed that when receiving the dose of rosuvastatin 40 mg in monotherapy. For example, when taking gemfibrozil, the dose of rosuvastatin should not exceed 20 mg (1.9 times increase in AUC) and 10 mg when taking an atazanavir / ritonavir combination (3.1 times increase in AUC).
special instructions
Effect on kidney function; Patients who received high doses of rosuvastatin (mainly 40 mg), in the course of urinalysis, test tubular proteinuria was observed, which in most cases was transient. Such proteinuria did not indicate acute kidney disease or progression of kidney disease. The frequency of reports on the development of serious adverse reactions from the kidneys during the post-marketing period was higher in patients taking rosuvastatin at a dose of 40 mg. When using Rosart at a dose of 40 mg, it is recommended to monitor indicators of renal function during treatment.; Effect on the musculoskeletal system ; At the use of all doses of rosuvastatin, and especially when taking doses in excess of 20 mg, myalgia, myopathy and, in rare cases, rhabdomyolysis have been reported. In very rare cases, the development of rhabdomyolysis was reported with the simultaneous use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and ezetimibe. In this case, pharmacodynamic interactions cannot be excluded, therefore care should be taken when taking them together.As with other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, the frequency of messages in the postmarketing observation of the development of rhabdomyolysis associated with taking rosuvastatin was higher with a 40 mg dose; Determination of CPK; Determination of CPK activity should not be performed after intense exercise or other possible reasons for the increase in its activity, which can lead to incorrect interpretation of the results. If the initial activity of CPK is significantly increased, after 5-7 days it is necessary to re-measure - do not start therapy if the repeated test confirms the initial activity of CPK (5 times higher than normal) .; Before initiating therapy; Care should be taken when prescribing Rosart, as well as the appointment of other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, patients with existing risk factors for the development of myopathy / rhabdomyolysis. It is necessary to consider the ratio of the expected benefit from therapy and the potential risk and conduct clinical observation throughout the course of treatment. If the initial activity of CPK is significantly increased (5 times higher than VGN), then you should not start treatment with the drug. During treatment; You should inform the patient about the need to immediately inform the doctor about cases of sudden muscle pain, muscle weakness or spasms, especially in combination with malaise and fever. In such patients, the activity of CPK should be determined. Therapy should be discontinued if the activity of CPK is significantly increased (more than 5 times as compared with VGN) or if the muscular symptoms are pronounced and cause daily discomfort (even if the activity of KFK is 5 times less as compared with VGN). If the symptoms disappear and the activity of CPK returns to normal, consideration should be given to reappointment of Rosart or other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors in smaller doses with careful monitoring of the patient. Routine monitoring of CPK activity in the absence of symptoms is impractical. Very rare cases of immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy with clinical manifestations in the form of persistent proximal muscle weakness and increased serum CPK activity during treatment or discontinuation of statins, including, have been observed.Rosuvastatin. There are no signs of an increased effect on skeletal muscles when taking rosuvastatin and concomitant therapy. However, an increase in the incidence of myositis and myopathy was reported in patients taking other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors in combination with fibrin acid derivatives (including gemfibrozil), cyclosporine, nicotinic acid in lipid-lowering doses ≥1 g / day, azole antifungal agents, inhibitors proteases and macrolide antibiotics. Gemfibrozil increases the risk of myopathy while taking it with some HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, therefore the simultaneous use of gemfibrozil and rosuvastatin is not recommended. It is necessary to carefully weigh the ratio of the expected benefit and potential risk in the joint use of Rosart and fibrates or nicotinic acid in lipid-lowering doses ≥1 g / day; taking Rosart in a dose of 40 mg simultaneously with fibrates is contraindicated; During treatment, especially during the correction period doses of Rosart, every 2-4 weeks should be monitored lipid profile and according to him, if necessary, change the dose of the drug.; Rosart should not be taken in patients with acute and pronounced symptoms of myopathy or with the presence of risk factors predisposing to the development of renal dysfunction and secondary rhabdomyolysis (for example, sepsis, arterial hypotension, extensive surgical interventions, injuries, severe metabolic disorders, severe endocrine disorders and severe disorders of water and electrolyte balance, uncontrolled seizures) .; Effects on liver function; Like other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, rosuvastatin should be used with caution in patients who abuse alcohol and / or in patients with alcohol. history of the liver in history. It is recommended to determine the indicators of liver function before the start of therapy and 3 months after the start of therapy. Taking Rosart should stop or reduce the dose of the drug if the level of serum hepatic transaminase activity is 3 times higher than VGN. In patients with hypercholesterolemia due to hypothyroidism or nephrotic syndrome, treatment of the main diseases should be carried out before starting treatment with Rosart.With post-marketing follow-up of rosuvastatin, the frequency of reports of the development of serious liver dysfunction (expressed mainly in elevated liver transaminase activity) was higher with a dose of 40 mg; Ethnic groups; .; HIV protease inhibitors; During the co-administration of rosuvastatin and the combination of various HIV protease inhibitors with ritonavir, increase the systemic concentration of rosuvastatin. The decrease in blood lipid concentration should be carefully evaluated, as well as the possible increase of rosuvastatin in the blood plasma at the beginning of treatment and during the period of increasing the dose of Rosart in patients with HIV taking HIV protease inhibitors. Simultaneous inhibition
