What is the equivalent dose of Rosuvastatin in statin equivalent doses?

  1. Pitavastatin 2 mg

  2. Rosuvastatin 5 mg

  3. Atorvastatin 10 mg

  4. Simvastatin 20 mg

The correct answer is: Rosuvastatin 5 mg

Rosuvastatin is a statin medication that is used to lower cholesterol and prevent heart disease. The term "statin equivalent doses" refers to the amount of medication needed to achieve the same cholesterol-lowering effect. In this case, the correct answer of Rosuvastatin 5 mg means that it takes 5 mg of Rosuvastatin to achieve the same effect as the other options. The other options, Pitavastatin 2 mg, Atorvastatin 10 mg, and Simvastatin 20 mg, are all different statin medications that have different equivalent doses. They are not the correct answer because they do not accurately represent the equivalent dose of Rosuvastatin in statin equivalent doses.
