7 DRUG INTERACTIONS See full prescribing information for details regarding concomitant use of rosuvastatin tablets with other drugs that increase the risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. ( 7.1 ) Aluminum and Magnesium Hydroxide Combination Antacids : Administer rosuvastatin tablets at least 2 hours before the antacid. ( 7.2 ) Warfarin : Obtain INR prior to starting rosuvastatin tablets. Monitor INR frequently until stable upon initiation, dosage titration or discontinuation.( 7.3 ) 7.1 Drug Interactions that Increase the Risk of Myopathy and Rhabdomyolysis with Rosuvastatin Tablets Rosuvastatin is a substrate of CYP2C9 and transporters (such as OATP1B1, BCRP). Rosuvastatin plasma levels can be significantly increased with concomitant administration of inhibitors of CYP2C9 and transporters. Table 5 includes a list of drugs that increase the risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis when used concomitantly with rosuvastatin tablets and instructions for preventing or managing them [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ]. Table 5: Drug Interactions that Increase the Risk of Myopathy and Rhabdomyolysis with Rosuvastatin Tablets Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir or Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir Prevention or Management: Avoid concomitant use with rosuvastatin tablets. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s): Rosuvastatin plasma levels were significantly increased with concomitant administration of many anti-viral drugs, which increases the risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. Gemfibrozil Prevention or Management: Avoid concomitant use of gemfibrozil with rosuvastatin tablets. If use is unavoidable, initiate rosuvastatin tablets at 5 mg once daily and do not exceed a dosage of rosuvastatin tablets 10 mg once daily. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s): Gemfibrozil significantly increased rosuvastatin exposure and gemfibrozil may cause myopathy when given alone. The risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis is increased with concomitant use. Tafamidis Prevention or Management: Avoid concomitant use of tafamidis with rosuvastatin tablets. If use is unavoidable, initiate rosuvastatin tablets at 5 mg once daily and do not exceed a dosage of rosuvastatin tablets 20 mg once daily. Monitor for signs of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis if used concomitantly with rosuvastatin tablets. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s): Tafamidis significantly increased rosuvastatin exposure and tafamidis may cause myopathy when given alone. The risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis is increased with concomitant use. Belumosudil Prevention or Management: In patients taking belumosudil, do not exceed a dosage of rosuvastatin tablets 5 mg once daily. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s): Belumosudil increased rosuvastatin exposure more than 4.6-fold. The risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis is increased with concomitant use. Cyclosporine Prevention or Management: In patients taking cyclosporine, do not exceed a dosage of rosuvastatin tablets 5 mg once daily. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s): Cyclosporine increased rosuvastatin exposure 7-fold. The risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis is increased with concomitant use. Darolutamide Prevention or Management: In patients taking darolutamide, do not exceed a dosage of rosuvastatin tablets 5 mg once daily. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s): Darolutamide increased rosuvastatin exposure more than 5-fold. The risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis is increased with concomitant use. Additional Anti-Viral Medications Prevention or Management: • Simeprevir • Dasabuvir/ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir • Elbasvir/grazoprevir • Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir • Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir • Atazanavir/ritonavir • Lopinavir/ritonavir Initiate with rosuvastatin tablets 5 mg once daily, and do not exceed a dosage of rosuvastatin tablets 10 mg once daily. Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s): Rosuvastatin plasma levels were significantly increased with concomitant administration of many anti-viral drugs, which increases the risk of myopathy and rhabdomyoly …

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS • Pregnancy : May cause fetal harm. ( 8.1 ) • Lactation : Breastfeeding not recommended during treatment with rosuvastatin tablets. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Discontinue rosuvastatin tablets when pregnancy is recognized. Alternatively, consider the ongoing therapeutic needs of the individual patient. Rosuvastatin tablets decreases synthesis of cholesterol and possibly other biologically active substances derived from cholesterol; therefore, rosuvastatin tablets may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant patients based on the mechanism of action [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 ) ]. In addition, treatment of hypercholesterolemia is not generally necessary during pregnancy. Atherosclerosis is a chronic process and the discontinuation of lipid-lowering drugs during pregnancy should have little impact on the outcome of long-term therapy of primary hypercholesterolemia for most patients. Available data from case series and prospective and retrospective observational cohort studies over decades of use with statins in pregnant women have not identified a drug-associated risk of major congenital malformations. Published data from prospective and retrospective observational cohort studies with rosuvastatin tablets use in pregnant women are insufficient to determine if there is a drug-associated risk of miscarriage ( see Data ). In animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed in pregnant rats or rabbits orally administered rosuvastatin during the period of organogenesis at doses that resulted in systemic exposures equivalent to human exposures at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 40 mg/day, based on AUC and body surface area (mg/m 2 ), respectively ( see Data ). The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Data Human Data A Medicaid cohort linkage study of 1,152 statin-exposed pregnant women compared to 886,996 controls did not find a significant teratogenic effect from maternal use of statins in the first trimester of pregnancy, after adjusting for potential confounders – including maternal age, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, and alcohol and tobacco use – using propensity score-based methods. The relative risk of congenital malformations between the group with statin use and the group with no statin use in the first trimester was 1.07 (95% confidence interval 0.85 to 1.37) after controlling for confounders, particularly pre-existing diabetes mellitus. There were also no statistically significant increases in any of the organ-specific malformations assessed after accounting for confounders. In the majority of pregnancies, statin treatment was initiated prior to pregnancy and was discontinued at some point in the first trimester when pregnancy was identified. Study limitations include reliance on physician coding to define the presence of a malformation, lack of control for certain confounders such as body mass index, use of prescription dispensing as verification for the use of a statin, and lack of information on non-live births. Animal Data In female rats given 5, 15 and 50 mg/kg/day before mating and continuing through to gestation day 7 resulted in decreased fetal body weight (female pups) and delayed ossification at 50 mg/kg/day (10 times the human exposure at the MRHD of 40 mg/day based on AUC). In pregnant rats given 2, 10 and 50 mg/kg/day of rosuvastatin from gestation day 7 through lactation day 21 (weaning), decreased pup survival occurred at 50 mg/kg/day (dose equivalent to 12 times the MRHD of 40 mg/day based body surface area). In pregnant rabbits given 0.3, 1, and 3 mg/kg/day of rosuvastatin from gestation day 6 to day 18, decreased fetal viability and maternal mortality was observed …
