Rosuvastatin-omeprazole

Centre de Recherche de l'Institut Universitaire de Cardiologie et de Pneumologie de Quebec · FDA-approved active Small molecule

Rosuvastatin-omeprazole is a Statin + proton pump inhibitor combination Small molecule drug developed by Centre de Recherche de l'Institut Universitaire de Cardiologie et de Pneumologie de Quebec. It is currently FDA-approved for Hypercholesterolemia with elevated cardiovascular risk in patients requiring gastric acid suppression.

This combination drug reduces cholesterol via HMG-CoA reductase inhibition (rosuvastatin) while simultaneously reducing gastric acid secretion (omeprazole) to protect the gastrointestinal tract.

Mechanism of action

Rosuvastatin is a statin that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis, thereby lowering LDL cholesterol and reducing cardiovascular risk. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that suppresses gastric acid production, protecting against acid-related GI injury that may occur with statin therapy or in patients at risk for ulcers. The combination addresses both lipid management and GI protection in a single formulation.
