Indication Information
**INDICATIONS** Rosuvastatin is indicated for patients with primary hypercholesterolaemia and mixed dyslipidaemia (including Fredrickson Type IIa, IIb; and heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia) as an adjunct to diet when response to diet and exercise is inadequate. Rosuvastatin is indicated to treat patients with primary dysbetalipoproteinaemia (Fredrickson Type III hyper lipoproteinaemia) as an adjunct to diet when response to diet and exercise is inadequate. Rosuvastatin reduces elevated LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglycerides and increases HDL-cholesterol, thereby enabling most patients to achieve relevant treatment guidelines. Rosuvastatin also lowers ApoB, nonHDL-C, VLDL-C, VLDL-TG, the LDL-C/HDL-C, total C/HDL-C, nonHDL-C/HDL-C, ApoB/ApoA-I ratios and increases ApoA-I. Rosuvastatin is also indicated in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia, either alone or as an adjunct to diet and other lipid lowering treatments (e.g. LDL apheresis). _**Primary Prevention of cardiovascular disease:**_ Rosuvastatin is indicated in individuals without clinically evident coronary heart disease but with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease based on age ≥ 50 years old in men and ≥ 60 years old in women, hsCRP ≥ 2 mg/L, and the presence of at least one additional cardiovascular disease risk factor such as hypertension, low HDL-C, smoking, or a family history of premature coronary heart disease, Rosuvastatin is indicated to: - reduce the risk of stroke - reduce the risk of myocardial infarction - reduce the risk of arterial revascularization procedures Rosuvastatin is indicated in children and adolescents 10 to 17 years of age as an adjunct to diet to reduce Total-C, LDL-C and ApoB levels in adolescent boys and girls, who are at least one year post-menarche, 10–17 years of age with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia if after an adequate trial of diet therapy the following findings are present: LDL-C > 190 mg/dL or > 160 mg/dL and there is a positive family history of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) or two or more other CVD risk factors. Paediatric studies were conducted mainly in the non-Asian population and data on Asian children/adolescents is limited.
