Rovex 10/Rovex 20 Adverse Reactions

The frequencies of adverse events are ranked according to the following: Common (>1/100, <1/10); Uncommon (>1/1,000, <1/100); Rare (>1/10,000,<1/1000); Very rare (<1/10,000); Not known (cannot be estimated from the available data).
Immune system disorders: Rare: hypersensitivity reactions including angioedema.
Nervous system disorders: Common: headache, dizziness.
Gastrointestinal disorders: Common: constipation, nausea, abdominal pain. Rare: pancreatitis.
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Uncommon: pruritus, rash and urticaria.
Musculoskeletal, connective tissue and bone disorders: Common: myalgia. Rare: myopathy (including myositis) and rhabdomyolysis.
General disorders: Common: asthenia.
As with other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, the incidence of adverse drug reactions tends to be dose dependent.
Renal Effects: Proteinuria, detected by dipstick testing and mostly tubular in origin, has been observed in patients treated with Rosuvastatin. Shifts in urine protein from none or trace to ++ or more were seen in <1% of patients at some time during treatment with 10 and 20 mg, and in approximately 3% of patients treated with 40 mg. A minor increase in shift from none or trace to + was observed with the 20 mg dose. In most cases, proteinuria decreases or disappears spontaneously on continued therapy. Review of data from clinical trials and post-marketing experience to date has not identified a causal association between proteinuria and acute or progressive renal disease. Haematuria has been observed in patients treated with Rosuvastatin Tablets and clinical trial data show that the occurrence is low.
Skeletal muscle effects: Effects on skeletal muscle e.g. myalgia, myopathy (including myositis) and, rarely, rhabdomyolysis with and without acute renal failure have been reported in Rosuvastatin-treated patients with all doses and in particular with doses >20 mg. A dose-related increase in CK levels has been observed in patients taking rosuvastatin; the majority of cases were mild, asymptomatic and transient. If CK levels are elevated (>5x ULN), treatment should be discontinued.
Liver Effects: As with other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, a dose-related increase in transaminases has been observed in a small number of patients taking rosuvastatin; the majority of cases were mild, asymptomatic and transient.
