Rosuvastatin Calcium refers to a statin medication used to lower LDL cholesterol while raising HDL cholesterol, reducing the risk of a cardiovascular event.

Most patients buy Rosuvastatin Calcium under the very widely-recognized name Crestor. When it was under patent control, Crestor was among the most-sold medications in the USA. Since then it has gone off patent, and it's now possible to buy Rosuvastatin Calcium under a wide range of brand and generic names.

Rosuvastatin Calcium can be used in patients age 7 and up, with modified dosing. Those of East-Asian descent also require modified dosing, as they're much more sensitive to the medication. Both elderly and young patients are more susceptible to side effects, requiring closer monitoring.

Dosage & Administration

Rosuvastatin Calcium comes in tablets, usually taken once per day with or without food as desired. They can be taken at any time of day, but once a time is chosen it's best to stick with it and take it at the same time each day. Tablets should be swallowed whole, not crushed or chewed.

Those who buy Rosuvastatin Calcium are usually also advised to make lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise. Depending on the cause of high cholesterol, these may be enough to eventually eliminate dependency on medications. However, some individuals have little benefit even with radical lifestyle changes.

Dosage and administration is individualized, but is also generally very similar in most cases.

In otherwise healthy adults of non-Asian lineage, treatment is typically:

• Start with 10 to 20 mg taken once daily.
• 10 to 20 mg are sufficient for the majority of patients.
• Those unable to control cholesterol at those doses may be increased to 40 mg taken once daily.
• Do not exceed 40 mg per day without doctor approval.

For otherwise healthy adults of East-Asian descent:

• Start with 5 mg taken once daily.
• If needed, dosage may be increased to 20 mg per day.
• Do not exceed 20 mg per day without doctor approval.

For otherwise healthy children:

• Ages 7 to 9 should take 5 to 10 mg once per day.
• Ages 10 to 17 should take 5 to 20 mg once per day.
• Do not exceed 20 mg per day without doctor approval.

Patients who have other major medical conditions or are taking other medications will likely need adjusted dosage.
