Introduction

Antilipemic agent; hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor (i.e., statin).

Uses for Rosuvastatin

Reduction in Risk of Cardiovascular Events

Adjunct to nondrug therapies (i.e., lifestyle modifications) in patients without clinical evidence of CHD who have multiple risk factors (e.g., age, smoking, hypertension, low HDL-cholesterol concentrations, family history of early CHD) to reduce the risk of MI, stroke, or angina and the risk of undergoing revascularization procedures.

Adjunct to dietary therapy to slow the progression of atherosclerosis as part of a treatment strategy to lower total and LDL-cholesterol concentrations to target levels.

Also used for secondary prevention [off-label] in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), defined as acute coronary syndromes (ACS), history of MI, stable or unstable angina or coronary or other arterial revascularization, stroke, TIA, or peripheral artery disease.

Extensive evidence demonstrates that statins can substantially reduce LDL-cholesterol concentrations and associated risk of ASCVD; may be used for secondary prevention or primary prevention in high-risk patients.

AHA/ACC cholesterol management guideline states that lifestyle modification is the foundation of ASCVD risk reduction. Patients with established ASCVD or high risk of ASCVD should also be treated with a statin.

Because relative ASCVD risk reduction is correlated with degree of LDL-cholesterol lowering, use maximum tolerated intensity of a statin to achieve greatest benefit. High-intensity statin therapy (defined as reducing LDL-cholesterol concentrations by ≥50%) is recommended; if high-intensity statin therapy not possible (e.g., because of a contraindication or intolerable adverse effect), may consider moderate-intensity statin therapy (defined as reducing LDL-cholesterol concentrations by 30–49%). AHA/ACC considers rosuvastatin 20–40 mg daily to be a high-intensity statin and rosuvastatin 5–10 mg daily to be a moderate-intensity statin.

The addition of a nonstatin drug (e.g., ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitor) to statin therapy may be considered in certain high-risk patients who require further reduction in LDL-cholesterol concentrations, particularly if there is evidence from randomized controlled studies suggesting that the addition of the nonstatin drug further reduces ASCVD events.

When considering whether to initiate statin therapy for primary prevention, AHA/ACC recommends an individualized approach and shared decision making between patient and clinician. According to the guidelines, statin therapy may be considered in certain high-risk groups such as adults 20–75 years of age with LDL cholesterol ≥190 mg/dL, adults 40–75 years of age with diabetes mellitus, adults 40–75 years of age without diabetes mellitus but with LDL-cholesterol levels ≥70 mg/dL and an estimated 10-year ASCVD risk ≥7.5%, and adults 40–75 years of age with chronic kidney disease (not treated with dialysis or transplantation) and LDL-cholesterol concentrations of 70–189 mg/dL who have a 10-year ASCVD risk ≥7.5%.

Dyslipidemias

Adjunct to nondrug therapies (e.g., dietary management) in adults to decrease elevated serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein B (apo B), non-HDL-cholesterol, and triglyceride concentrations, and to increase HDL-cholesterol concentrations in the management of primary hyperlipidemia or mixed dyslipidemia. May be used in combination with fenofibrate to decrease triglyceride concentrations and increase HDL-cholesterol concentrations in patients with mixed dyslipidemia and CHD (or CHD risk equivalents) who are on optimal statin therapy; however, no incremental benefit on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality beyond that provided by statin monotherapy.

Adjunct to nondrug therapies (e.g., dietary management) to decrease elevated serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and apo B concentrations in the management of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia in children and adolescents 8–17 years of age who, despite an adequate trial of dietary management, have a serum LDL-cholesterol concentration >190 mg/dL or a serum LDL-cholesterol concentration >160 mg/dL and either a family history of premature cardiovascular disease or ≥2 other cardiovascular risk factors.

Reduction of elevated serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and apo B concentrations in adults with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia as an adjunct to other lipid-lowering therapies (e.g., plasma LDL-apheresis) or when such therapies are not available.

Adjunct to nondrug therapies (e.g., dietary management) to decrease elevated serum LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, non-HDL-cholesterol, and apo B concentrations in children and adolescents 7–17 years of age with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia; used alone or in conjunction with other lipid-lowering therapies (e.g., LDL apheresis).

Adjunct to nondrug therapies (e.g., dietary management) for the management of hypertriglyceridemia.

Adjunct to nondrug therapies (e.g., dietary management) for the management of primary dysbetalipoproteinemia (Fredrickson type III).

Produces greater reductions in LDL-cholesterol concentrations than atorvastatin, pravastatin, or simvastatin on a mg-for-mg basis.

Rosuvastatin Dosage and Administration

General

Patient Monitoring

Administration

Oral Administration

Administer orally (as tablets or sprinkle capsules). The sprinkle capsule formulation is FDA-labeled for use in a narrower population of patients (adults with hypertriglyceridemia, primary dysbetalipoproteinemia, or homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia).

Both tablets and capsules may be administered at any time of day without regard to meals.

Do not take 2 doses within 12 hours of each other.

Tablets

Swallow whole.

Sprinkle Capsules

Swallow whole; do not crush or chew. For patients with difficulty swallowing, may open capsules and mix contents with a small amount (e.g., teaspoonful) of soft food (e.g., applesauce, pudding). Consume the drug/food mixture within 60 minutes and do not store for later use; discard any remaining portions.

May be administered through a nasogastric tube. Open sprinkle capsules, mix intact granules with water, and deliver into nasogastric tube according to manufacturer's instructions. Use mixture immediately and do not store for later use; discard any remaining portions.

Cautions for Rosuvastatin

Contraindications

Warnings/Precautions

Musculoskeletal Effects

Myopathy and rhabdomyolysis with acute renal failure secondary to myoglobinuria reported. Can occur at any dosage, but risk is increased with highest dosage (40 mg daily).

Certain drug interactions also may increase risk of myopathy and/or rhabdomyolysis. (See Interactions.)

Use with caution in patients with predisposing factors for myopathy (e.g., age ≥65 years, renal impairment, inadequately treated hypothyroidism).

AHA/ACC recommends measurement of CK levels in patients with severe statin-associated muscle symptoms; however, routine monitoring is not useful.

Discontinue therapy if serum CK concentrations increase markedly or if myopathy is diagnosed or suspected.

Temporarily withhold or discontinue therapy in any patient experiencing an acute, serious condition suggestive of myopathy or predisposing to the development of renal failure secondary to rhabdomyolysis (e.g., sepsis; hypotension; dehydration; major surgery; trauma; severe metabolic, endocrine, or electrolyte disorders; uncontrolled seizures). (See Advice to Patients.)

Immune-mediated Necrotizing Myopathy

Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), an autoimmune myopathy, reported rarely in patients receiving statins. Characterized by proximal muscle weakness and elevated CK concentrations that persist despite discontinuance of statin therapy, positive anti-HMG CoA reductase antibody, necrotizing myopathy without substantial inflammation, and improvement following therapy with immunosuppressive agents.

Additional neuromuscular and serologic testing may be necessary; treatment with immunosuppressive agents may be required. Consider risk of IMNM carefully prior to initiating therapy with another statin, and monitor for signs and symptoms.

Hepatic Effects

Increases in serum aminotransferase (AST, ALT) concentrations reported. Usually transient and resolve or improve with continued therapy or after temporary interruption of therapy.

Jaundice reported in ≥2 patients in clinical studies but resolved following discontinuance of therapy; causal relationship to rosuvastatin not established.

Liver failure or irreversible liver disease not reported in clinical studies; however, fatal and nonfatal hepatic failure reported rarely.

Perform liver function tests before initiation of therapy and as clinically indicated (e.g., presence of manifestations suggestive of liver damage). Serious statin-related liver injury is rare and unpredictable, and routine periodic monitoring of liver enzymes does not appear to be effective in detecting or preventing serious liver injury. AHA/ACC cholesterol management guideline states that it is reasonable to obtain liver function tests in patients with symptoms of hepatotoxicity (e.g., unusual fatigue or weakness, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, dark colored urine, yellowing of skin or sclera); however, routine monitoring not recommended.

If serious liver injury with clinical manifestations and/or hyperbilirubinemia or jaundice occurs, promptly interrupt rosuvastatin therapy. If an alternate etiology is not found, do not restart rosuvastatin.

Also see Hepatic Impairment under Cautions.

Interactions with Coumarin-derivative Anticoagulants

Because of possible potentiation of anticoagulant effects, caution when used concomitantly with coumarin-derivative anticoagulants. (See Specific Drugs under Interactions.)

Proteinuria and Hematuria

Transient dipstick-positive proteinuria and microscopic hematuria (not associated with worsening renal function) reported; occurred more frequently with rosuvastatin 40 mg compared with lower doses of rosuvastatin or comparator statins. Clinical importance not known; however, consider reducing dosage in patients who have unexplained persistent proteinuria and/or hematuria during routine urinalysis testing.

Hyperglycemic Effects

Increases in HbA1c and fasting serum glucose concentrations reported. Possible increased risk of developing diabetes. May need to monitor glucose concentrations following initiation of statin therapy.

AHA/ACC cholesterol management guideline states that in patients with increased risk of diabetes mellitus or new-onset diabetes mellitus, statin therapy and lifestyle modifications should be continued to reduce risk of ASCVD.

Endogenous Steroid Production

No effects on basal plasma cortisol concentration or adrenal reserve observed with rosuvastatin.

Caution advised if used concomitantly with drugs that may decrease concentrations or activity of endogenous steroid hormones (e.g., ketoconazole, spironolactone, cimetidine).

Cognitive Impairment

Cognitive impairment (e.g., memory loss, forgetfulness, amnesia, memory impairment, confusion) reported rarely.

Generally nonserious and reversible, with variable times to symptom onset (1 day to years) and resolution (median of 3 weeks following discontinuance of therapy). Not associated with fixed or progressive dementia (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease) or clinically important cognitive decline. Not associated with any specific statin, patient's age, statin dosage, or concomitant drug therapy.

FDA states that cardiovascular benefits of statins outweigh the small increased risk of cognitive impairment.

If manifestations consistent with cognitive impairment occur, National Lipid Association (NLA) statin safety assessment task force recommends evaluating and managing patients appropriately.

Role as Adjunct Therapy

Prior to institution of antilipemic therapy, vigorously attempt to control serum cholesterol by appropriate dietary regimens, weight reduction, exercise, and treatment of any underlying disorder that might be the cause of lipid abnormality.

Specific Populations

Pregnancy

All statins were previously contraindicated in pregnant women because fetal risk was thought to outweigh any possible benefit. However, the totality of evidence to date indicates limited potential for statins to cause malformations and other adverse embryofetal effects; FDA has therefore requested removal of the contraindication. Most pregnant patients should still discontinue statins because of the possibility of fetal harm; however, some patients (e.g., those with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia or established cardiovascular disease) may benefit from continued therapy. Consider patient's individual risks and benefits.

Patients who become pregnant or suspect that they are pregnant while receiving a statin should notify their clinician; clinician should advise patient on the appropriate course of action.

Increased risk of miscarriage reported in pregnant women exposed to statins; however, not clear whether drug-related or due to other confounding factors.

Lactation

Distributed into human milk; effects on breast-fed infants or milk production not known. Use is contraindicated in nursing women; women who require rosuvastatin therapy should not breast-feed their infants. Many patients can stop statin therapy temporarily until breast-feeding is complete; patients who require ongoing statin treatment should not breast-feed and should use alternatives such as infant formula.

Pediatric Use

Safety and efficacy not established in children <8 years of age.

Safety and efficacy in pediatric patients 8–17 years of age with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia generally similar to those observed in the adult population. Pharmacokinetic studies indicated rosuvastatin exposure similar to or less than that observed in adults.

Safety profile in children and adolescents 7–15 years of age with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia similar to that observed in adults.

No detectable adverse effects on growth, weight, body mass index (BMI), or sexual maturation in children and adolescents.

Advise adolescent girls to use effective and appropriate contraceptive methods during therapy to reduce the likelihood of unintended pregnancy.

Geriatric Use

No substantial differences in safety and efficacy relative to younger adults; however, increased sensitivity cannot be ruled out.

Use with caution, since age ≥65 is a predisposing risk factor for myopathy.

Patients >75 years of age may have a higher risk of adverse effects and lower adherence to therapy; consider expected benefits versus adverse effects before initiating statin therapy in this population.

Hepatic Impairment

Use with caution in patients who consume substantial amounts of alcohol and/or have a history of liver disease (e.g., chronic alcoholic liver disease). (See Contraindications under Cautions.)

Contraindicated in patients with active liver disease, including unexplained, persistent elevations in hepatic aminotransferase concentrations.

Renal Impairment

Dosage adjustments necessary in patients with severe renal impairment. (See Renal Impairment under Dosage and Administration.)

Common Adverse Effects

Headache, nausea, myalgia, asthenia, constipation, abdominal pain.

Drug Interactions

Minimally (approximately 10%) metabolized by CYP2C9. Clearance not dependent on metabolism by CYP3A4 to a clinically important extent.

Drugs Affecting Transport Systems

Substrate for organic anion transport protein (OATP) 1B1 and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). Concomitant use with drugs that inhibit these transport proteins potentially may increase plasma concentrations of rosuvastatin and increase risk of myopathy. Consult relevant prescribing information of such drugs when considering concomitant use.
