Rovas Indications/Uses

Prevention of Cardiovascular Events: In adult patients with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease based on the presence of cardiovascular disease risk markers such as an elevated high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level, age, hypertension, low HDL-C, smoking or a family history of premature coronary heart disease. Rosuvastatin is indicated to reduce total mortality and the risk of major cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, stroke, myocardial infarction, unstable angina or arterial revasculization).
In adult patients with hypercholesterolaemia: Primary hypercholesterolaemia (type IIa including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia) or mixed dyslipidaemia (type IIb) as an adjunct to diet when response to diet and other non-pharmacological treatments (e.g. exercise, weight reduction) is inadequate.
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia as an adjunct to diet and other lipid lowering treatments (e.g. LDL apheresis) or if such treatments are not appropriate.
Slow or delay the progression of atherosclerosis.
Children and adolescents 6 to 17 years of age: Rosuvastatin is indicated to reduce the total cholesterol, LDL and Apo B in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HeFH).
