Rosuvastatin Calcium should be handled with care, especially for individuals with liver or kidney disease. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to exceed it without medical advice. Regular monitoring of liver function may be recommended. Additionally, alcohol consumption should be limited as it can increase the risk of side effects.
