According to available information, Rosuvastatin Ezetimibe Tablets (I) is a fixed-dose combination formulation comprising rosuvastatin, an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, and ezetimibe, a selective cholesterol absorption inhibitor. This medication lowers plasma levels of total cholesterol (T-C), LDL-C, apolipoprotein B (ApoB), triglycerides (TG), and non-HDL cholesterol by inhibiting both cholesterol absorption and synthesis, while simultaneously increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, thereby improving lipid profiles. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).
Previously, the Group had successively obtained approval for rosuvastatin calcium tablets (10 mg and 5 mg) and their corresponding active pharmaceutical ingredients. The recent approval of this new product further underscores the advantages of its integrated “API–formulation” development model and will help enhance the product’s market accessibility.
“The R&D of combination formulations requires overcoming significant barriers in formulation technology, placing even higher demands on a company’s technical capabilities and innovative capacity,” said the head of the Group’s R&D Center. The center will fully leverage its research strengths, collaborate with renowned universities and research institutes to establish joint innovation platforms, focus on mastering critical core technologies, and break through bottlenecks in key technological areas. At the same time, it will intensify efforts to continuously enhance the industrialization efficiency of high-end, complex formulations, thereby better meeting the health needs of the public.
