Application features
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
The drug Rosuvastatin-Teva is contraindicated during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Women of reproductive age should use adequate contraception.
Children
The safety and efficacy of the drug in children under 6 years of age have not been studied. Therefore, rosuvastatin is not recommended for use in children under 6 years of age.
Ability to influence reaction speed when driving vehicles or other mechanisms
Studies on the effect of rosuvastatin on the ability to drive and use machines have not been conducted. Given its pharmacodynamic properties, it is unlikely that rosuvastatin will affect this ability. When driving or operating machinery, the possibility of dizziness should be taken into account during treatment.
Overdose
There is no specific treatment for overdose. In the event of overdose, the patient should be treated symptomatically and, if necessary, supportive measures should be taken. Liver function and CK levels should be monitored. Hemodialysis is unlikely to be effective.
Storage conditions
Store at a temperature not exceeding 25 ° C. Keep out of the reach of children.
