Adverse effect of Rosuvastatin
REVERSE EFFECT OF ROSUVASTATIN

I have put more than 100 patients on Rosuvastatin (10mg) to treat mixed dyslipidemia and had good results after six months of treatment with diet control and exercise is as follows:
Cholesterol level fell up to 10-15%,
TG level decreased by 5-6%,
LDL Cholesterol decreased upto 10-12% and
HDL level elevated upto 6-8%
Except in 4 patients who had similar results, but their TG level elevated to 60-70% with similar diet control and exercise.
When these patients were put on Fenofibrates (160mg ) with Statin their TG level remarkably improved.
