General Dosing Information

The dose range for EZALLOR Sprinkle in adults is 5 mg to 40 mg orally once daily. The usual starting dose is 10 mg to 20 mg once daily. The usual starting dose in adult patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is 20 mg once daily. The maximum EZALLOR Sprinkle dose of 40 mg should be used only for those patients who have not achieved their LDL-C goal utilizing the 20 mg dose [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

EZALLOR Sprinkle can be administered as a single dose at any time of day, with or without food. Swallow capsules whole. Do not crush or chew. For patients who cannot swallow capsules, the capsules can be opened for administration [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].

When initiating EZALLOR Sprinkle therapy or switching from another HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor therapy, the appropriate EZALLOR Sprinkle starting dose should first be utilized, and only then titrated according to the patient’s response and individualized goal of therapy.

After initiation or upon titration of EZALLOR Sprinkle, lipid levels should be analyzed within 2 to 4 weeks and the dosage adjusted accordingly.

Pediatric use information for patients 7 to 17 years of age is approved for AstraZeneca’s CRESTOR (rosuvastatin calcium) tablets. However, due to AstraZeneca’s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that pediatric information.

Dosing in Asian Patients

In Asian patients, consider initiation of EZALLOR Sprinkle therapy with 5 mg once daily due to increased rosuvastatin plasma concentrations. The increased systemic exposure should be taken into consideration when treating Asian patients not adequately controlled at doses up to 20 mg once daily [see Use in Specific Populations (8.8) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

Attach the syringe to a nasogastric tube (≥16-French) and deliver the contents of the syringe through the nasogastric tube into the stomach. After administering the granules, the nasogastric tube should be flushed with 20 mL of additional water. The mixture must be used immediately after preparation and not be stored for future use. If it is not used in its entirety, the remaining mixture should be discarded immediately. Use with any other liquids is not recommended.
