focused on Western and other Asian populations
Significant improvements in the TC:HDL-C and LDL-C:HDL-C ratios were noted after 8 weeks
of rosuvastatin treatment in all the dose-groups with the greatest magnitude effect in those
assigned to 20 mg
< ROSUVEES is the first Indian study to compare effectiveness & safety of three commonly used
doses (5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg) of rosuvastatin in hyperlipidemia

Validates usefulness of rosuvastatin in routine clinical practice in
achieving non-HDL cholesterol targets (82.19% patients
attained goal)
When significant triglyceride reduction is required from baseline (20-40%), the preferred
starting dose can be either rosuvastatin 10 mg or 20 mg
<
Validated the usefulness of rosuvastatin in routine clinical practice in achieving non-HDL
cholesterol targets (82.19% subjects attained goal) and reducing atherogenic risk profile
of Indian hyperlipidemic patients.
<
Rosuvastatin is an effective therapy for reducing LDL-C, improving atherogenic lipid
profile & facilitating achievement of lipid goals in Indian pts.
<
The safety results confirmed that rosuvastatin is safe and tolerable in Indian patients
with no significant differences in side effects than those reported in published literature
from other geographies
<
ROSUVEES study established rosuvastatin as an effective therapy for reducing LDL-C,
improving atherogenic lipid profile, and facilitating achievement of lipid goals in Indian
patients with hyperlipidemia
<
The practice recommendations from the results imply that in the Indian population,
rosuvastatin 10 mg or 20 mg as starting could be a preferred dose across the risk
categories without any concerns of exaggerated clinical response or major safety issues
and achieve significant reductions in LDL-C and TGs, and high rates of lipid goals
attainment
<
Especially, in the CHD/CHD equivalent population, and in those with more cardiovascular
risk factors, the 5 mg dose may be inadequate and it is more appropriate to start with
either rosuvastatin 10 mg or 20 mg.
<
The information from this evaluation program will provide Indian clinicians a basis for
optimizing their rosuvastatin regimen in the management of dyslipidemia to achieve
guideline recommended lipid goals and reduce cardiovascular risk
