The side effects associated with the use of Rosestar® are usually mild and pass on their own.The incidence of side effects is mainly dose-dependent, as with other inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase.
To indicate the frequency of side effects, the following classification is used: often (> 1/100 and < 1/10), infrequently (> 1/1000 and < 1/100). rarely (> 1/10000 and < 1/1000), rarely (< 1/10000), unspecified frequency (can not be calculated from available data).
From the skin: infrequently: itching, rash, hives; Unspecified Frequency: Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.
From the digestive tract: often: constipation, nausea, abdominal pain; rarely: pancreatitis; very rarely: jaundice, hepatitis; frequency of disorder: diarrhea.
From the central nervous system: often: headache, dizziness; very rarely: polyneuropathy, memory loss.
From the immune system: rarely: toheightened sensitivity, including angioedema.
From the endocrine system: often: type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Other: often: asthenic syndrome; unspecified frequency: peripheral edema.
From the musculoskeletal system: often: myalgia; rarely: myopathy (including myositis), rhabdomyolysis; very rarely: arthralgia; Unspecified frequency: immuno-mediated necrotizing myopathy.Actions on skeletal muscles that cause myalgia, myopathy (including myositis) and, in rare cases, rhabdomyolysis with or without development of acute renal failure, have been observed in patients taking any dose of rosuvastatin, especially when taking doses. exceeding 20 mg. The dose-dependent increase in activity of creatine phosphokinase (CK) was revealed in patients taking rosuvastatin, but in most cases these manifestations were insignificant, asymptomatic and temporary. In the case of an increase in activity of CK more than 5 times compared with the upper limit of the norm, therapy should be suspended (see section "Special instructions").
From the urinary system
When taking rosuvastatin, proteinuria can be observed. Changes in the protein content in the urine (from lack or presence of trace amounts to the level of ++ and above) are observed in less than 1% of patients taking rosuvasgatin 10 mg and 20 mg and approximately 3% of patients taking the drug at a dose of 40 mg . A slight change in the amount of protein in the urine, expressed in a change from zero level or the presence of traces to the level of +, was observed when taking the drug at a dose of 20 mg.In most cases, proteinuria decreased and passed independently during the treatment. When analyzing the data of clinical studies, there is no causal relationship between proteinuria and acute or progressive kidney disease. Very rarely: hematuria, microhematuria.
From the side of the liver
With the use of rosuvastatin, a dose-dependent increase in the activity of "hepatic" transaminases in a small number of patients is observed. In most cases, this increase is slight, asymptomatic and temporary.
Laboratory indicators
When rosuvastatin was used, the following changes in laboratory parameters were observed: an increase in the concentration of glucose, bilirubin, activity of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, thyroid dysfunction.
On the part of the hematopoiesis system: Unspecified frequency: thrombocytopenia.
From the respiratory system: Unspecified frequency: cough, shortness of breath.
From the reproductive system and the breast: unspecified frequency: gynecomastia.
Some statins reported the following side effects: depression, sleep disturbances, including insomnia and nightmarish dreams, sexual dysfunction.
With prolonged use of rosuvastatin, single cases of interstitial lung disease were reported.
