Rovista is an effective and safe treatment for many people. However, as with any medication, there are potential contraindications that patients should be aware of before beginning therapy.

The first potential contraindication to consider is allergies or hypersensitivity reactions. Rovista contains inactive ingredients that may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.

Another important potential risk factor for Rovista is liver disease or dysfunction. Patients with pre-existing liver conditions may be at an increased risk of developing serious adverse effects when using Rovista.

People who consume large amounts of alcohol on a regular basis may also need special consideration when using Rovista due to its potential effects on the liver.

Pregnant women and nursing mothers should not use Rovista due to its unknown effect on fetal development or a baby’s health after birth.

If anyone who suffers from kidney disease or dysfunction should also exercise caution when considering using Rovista, as kidney problems can contribute to additional complications during treatment.

Rovista Dose for Adults:

• One tablet of 5mg or 10mg once daily.
• The maximum recommended dose is Two tablets of 20mg (40 mg) once daily.

However, the higher dose (40mg/day) is usually recommended for individuals with severe hypercholesterolemia or individuals at high risk of cardiovascular events who have not achieved their target cholesterol levels with lower doses.

Rovista works by slowing cholesterol synthesis to decrease its amount in the body. Rovista inhibits the HMG-CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme) reductase. This enzyme is the rate-limiting step in cholesterol formation.
