Which statin has an equivalent dose of Rosuvastatin 5 mg?

  1. Atorvastatin 10 mg

  2. Simvastatin 20 mg

  3. Pravastatin 40 mg

  4. Pitavastatin 2 mg

The correct answer is: Pitavastatin 2 mg

The equivalent dose of Rosuvastatin 5 mg is Pitavastatin 2 mg. This is due to Pitavastatin having a similar potency to Rosuvastatin, making it a suitable substitute at a lower dose. Atorvastatin, Simvastatin, and Pravastatin all have different potencies and would not be considered equivalent doses to Rosuvastatin 5 mg.
