2.1.3 Market Trends
Lipid is another word for fat. Lipids are easily stored in your body and serve as a source
of energy. Cholesterol is a lipid.When the concentration of cholesterol in your blood is
too high, it is called hypercholesterolaemia.
In hypercholesterolaemia, small fatty patches called atheroma develop within the
inside lining of your blood vessels. Over time, these patches can make a blood vessel
narrower and this is called atherosclerosis This narrowing reduces the blood flow
through the artery and increases the risk of a number of heart and blood vessel
diseases, such as heart attack and stroke.
Rosuvastatin reduces the amount of lipids such as cholesterol made by your body.This
lowers your risk of heart and blood vessel disease. It can also reduce this risk, even if
your cholesterol levels are normal, if you are at an increased risk of heart disease.

2.1.3 Market Trends
Atorvastatin, a lipid lowering agent causes myalgia which is seen in lesser extent and
in lesser severity with Rosuvastatin therapy. Furthermore, atorvastatin is prone to type-
II diabetes mellitus, and patients with hepatic dysfunction should avoid atorvastatin as it
alters the normal SGPT and others liver functioning enzymes’ secretion and their
functions. Atorvastatin also causes erectile dysfunction in long term treatment.
On the other hand, Rosuvastatin is a third generation lipid lowering agent which shows
almost least extent of the above stated adverse effects caused by atorvastatin and the
biggest advantage of Rosuvastatin is- it doesn’t causes hepatic dysfunction, thus can
be prescribed in jaundice patients.
Though atorvastatin is prescribed most all around the world frequently as a first
choice of lipid lowering agent. As now we have updated drug in hand, shouldn't
we use that instead?

5.0 Controls
The purpose of Rostin marketing plan is to serve as a guide for the organization.
The following areas will be monitored to gauge performance :
Revenue : monthly and annual
Expenses : monthly and annual
Customer satisfaction
New-product development

5.1 Implementation
The following milestones identify the key marketing programs . It is
important to accomplish each one on time and on budget

5.2 Marketing Organization
The Brand Management Department and Marketing
Department will be responsible for the marketing
activities.

5.3 Contingency Planning
Difficulties and risks
Problems generating visibility, a function of being
an internet based start up organization
An entry into the market by an already established
market competitor
Worst-Case Risks
Determining that the business cannot support itself
on an ongoing basis
Having to liquidate equipment or intellectual
capital to cover liabilities

5.3 Contingency Planning

Recommendation
 Patients who qualify for statins therapy are
either not being treated, being under-treated,
or both.
 Aggressive lipid lowering beyond current
guidelines appears to be more efficacious in
reducing morbidity & mortality.

Recommendation
Though atorvastatin is prescribed most all around the
world frequently as a first choice of lipid lowering
agent. As now we have updated drug in hand,
shouldn't we use that instead?
ROSTIN is not right for everyone. Do not take ROSTIN if you are
nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant; have liver problems;
or have had an allergic reaction to ROSTIN
Your doctor should do blood tests to check your liver before
starting treatment with ROSTIN and if you have symptoms of liver
problems while taking ROSTIN
Rosuvastatin is the most potent member of statin family that has
ability to regress Atherosclerosis.
