Key Point: The occurrence of clinically relevant CK elevations with greater LDL-C reductions is low in patients receiving rosuvastatin 10 mg to 40 mg, indicating a favorable benefit-risk profile.

This slide shows a benefit-risk assessment for statin therapies. The occurrence of CK elevations >10 ´ ULN are plotted against percent LDL-C reductions for various statins by dose

As shown, this graph suggests most of the statins exhibit an increasing occurrence of clinically relevant CK elevations with increasing LDL-C reductions as the dose is increased

However, the occurrence of clinically relevant CK elevations with greater LDL-C reductions remains low in patients receiving rosuvastatin 10 mg to 40 mg, indicating a favorable benefit-risk profile
