"Roxera": analogues of the preparation

The drug "Roxer", analogs and instructions for the use of which we will consider later in the article, refers to lipid-lowering drugs. They are prescribed for violations of fat metabolism, accompanied by an increase in the number of lipoproteins or lipids in the blood plasma. This condition can be both genetically determined and proven to be acquired, and due to asymptomatic conditions it is usually detected by chance, during a screening study of lipid levels.

Taking the same medicines helps the patient avoid a large number of serious illnesses and maintain good health.

Which of the analogues is better

In medicine, the drug "Roxer" is considered to be quite effective and safe. So, it should be noted that the first positive changes in its use can be observed in a few days after the start of treatment (although the maximum therapeutic effect occurs about a month later).

But, as underlined by the instruction available to the drug "Roxer", reviews (even very positive) do not solve everything. After all, for some patients this remedy for some reason does not fit, and they have to turn to analogues.

In such cases, a replacement drug from a large list of drugs with a similar effect should be selected by the doctor, sometimes even by trial and error. After all, the effect and dosage of drugs are very individual.

Composition of the drug "Roxer", manufacturer and analogues

The main active ingredient included in the "Roxer" tablets is rosuvastine, which is an inhibitor (i.e., a substance suppressing the course of physicochemical processes) of a special enzyme that takes part in the process of cholesterol formation.

In addition to it, the composition of the described medicinal product includes:

  • Crospovidone, magnesium stearate,
  • Anhydrous lactose,
  • microcrystalline cellulose,
  • Anhydrous colloidal silicon dioxide.

No less effective are the analogues of the drug "Roksera" - drugs "Krestor" and "Atoris". They have a similar principle of action, but in the means of "Roxer" and "Krestor" the same main active substance, and the drug "Atoris" is atorvastatin.

List of generic tablets "Roxer"

In addition to the above, the described statin has a fairly large list of generics. We list only those that, according to experts, are bioequivalent, that is, their effect on the patient's body is the most similar. So, the most popular analogues in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia for the drug "Roksera" are:

  • "Akorta",
  • "Cleavas",
  • Roviks,
  • «Rozvator»,
  • "Rosulip",
  • Rosart,
  • "Mertenil",
  • «Rosuvastatin Sandoz»,
  • "Fastong" and others.

They differ somewhat in the speed of the effect: the slowest in this plan is "Atoris", which is often prescribed as a preventive agent. But for all analogues it is common that positive changes are visible already in the first weeks of treatment.

In what cases are the "Roxera" and its analogues used?

Both the analogs and the "Roxer" preparation have the same indications for use: atherosclerosis, primary, mixed or homozygous hypercholesterolemia, coronary heart disease, arterial hypertension, as well as complications after vascular disease.

Specialists strongly advise taking statins for patients who have a genetic predisposition to cardiovascular disease and hypercholesterolemia. To support your body with hypolipidemic drugs, doctors recommend that people who abuse alcohol and smoking.

Each patient receives the dose and duration of the therapeutic course individually by the attending physician. So, some of the patients, having achieved positive results, stop taking the drug, while others have to take it for life to prevent it.

How is Roxer treated? Instructions for use

Analogues of the drug and the drug itself, "Roxer" are available in the form of tablets, which, by the way, can not be divided, grinded or chewed before use. Take them regardless of food, swallowing the entire prescribed dose of the drug entirely and washing down with water.

Treatment with these drugs begins always with small doses (10 mg once a day). At the same time, multiple factors are necessarily taken into account, including what preparations the patient takes in parallel, and also in what condition are his liver and kidneys. After the control laboratory tests, which are carried out about a month after the start of therapy, the initial dose can be increased to 20 mg. In some cases, patients who have homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, the dose is increased to 40 mg. By the way, the use of high doses of the drug "Roxer" requires constant monitoring of the patient's condition.

As the instruction to the drug emphasizes, for its greater effectiveness, attention should be paid not only to the concentration of triglycerides and cholesterol in the patient's blood, but also to his age, gender and race. This is due to the fact that the concentration of these substances, depending on the parameters mentioned, may be different - for example, in Indians and Mongoloids it is higher, which means that the doses necessary for its recovery will be different than for Caucasoids.

Contraindications for the use of the drug "Roxer"

As already mentioned above, the drug should be prescribed by a doctor. At the same time, specialists take into account the fact that with exacerbation of liver diseases, during pregnancy and lactation, as well as with severe renal failure, the drug "Roxer" or its analogs are not prescribed.

They are also contraindicated in patients with neuromuscular diseases (in particular, with myopathy), patients taking simultaneously as an antidepressant "Ciclosporin", women of reproductive age who do not use contraceptives, as well as children under the age of eighteen, and elderly people After 70 years.

Dangerous for these agents when hypersensitivity to the components of tablets.

Side effects

The drug "Roxer", the analogs of this remedy - all of them can cause as a result of the application of side effects. They should be attributed primarily to the allergic reaction to the components of the drugs, which manifests itself in the form of itching, rashes on the skin and urticaria, up to the development of angioedema.

There are patients and abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract, which are manifested by pain in the abdomen, attacks of nausea and, in rare cases, vomiting. There are also cases of pancreatitis development, skeletal muscle functioning disorders, manifested most often in the form of myalgia (pain in the muscles) or less often - myopathy, as well as the phenomenon of asthenia.

There are violations of the kidneys and urinary tracts, accompanied by an increase in the amount of protein in the urine.

When appointing the drug "Roxer" should also take into account the possibility of its impact on laboratory indicators. The activity of creatine kinase may increase, the concentration of glucose or bilirubin, and thyroid hormones may change.

Possibility of overdose

If the prescribed dose is exceeded, there is a possibility of an overdose with the drug "Roxer". The manufacturer of this drug emphasizes that when a single dose of an increased dose of clinically significant manifestations of an overdose was not observed.

In the case of the appearance of signs of intoxication, the patient is shown symptomatic treatment and maintenance therapy. Recommended and further monitoring of liver function, as well as activity of creatine kinase.

To take lipid-lowering drugs should be taken seriously!

The drug "Roxer" (analogues as well) does not apply to medicines intended for self-administration. They can not be thoughtlessly, in a quick way, "knocking down cholesterol", as it seems to some frivolous patients. Therefore, lipid-lowering drugs are dispensed only on the prescription of a doctor, and they are treated in individual dosages and with constant laboratory control of the results.

If a patient is prescribed a pill of "Roxer" or their analogs, he must find out from the attending physician what undesirable effects should be feared, how to behave when they appear, specify the schedule for blood donation for control, etc.

Only if these conditions are met, statins can be the means that will significantly prolong the life of the patient and strengthen his health.
