Livosis 10 mg contains rosuvastatin 10 mg, a statin used to lower cholesterol.

Taking 7 tablets (70 mg total) together — Is it harmful?

Short answer: Yes, this is an overdose and potentially harmful. Seek medical attention promptly.

What rosuvastatin normally does

Rosuvastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that lowers LDL cholesterol. The standard dose range is 5–40 mg once daily. The maximum approved dose is 40 mg/day.

Why 70 mg at once is concerning

Taking 7 × 10 mg tablets at once delivers 70 mg — nearly double the maximum daily dose. Key risks include:

Risk	Details
Myopathy	Muscle pain, weakness, fatigue — dose-dependent adverse effect of statins
Rhabdomyolysis	Severe muscle breakdown, releasing myoglobin into the bloodstream
Acute kidney injury	Myoglobin from rhabdomyolysis can block kidney tubules, causing renal failure
Elevated liver enzymes	Hepatotoxicity is a recognized adverse effect at higher doses
Elevated creatine kinase (CK)	Marker of muscle damage, rises with statin overdose

Statins' muscle and organ toxicity is thought to result from inhibition of heme A and ubiquinone (CoQ10) synthesis, both critical for mitochondrial energy production — Lippincott's Biochemistry, p. 627.

What to do

Go to an emergency department or call Poison Control immediately (do not wait for symptoms to appear).
Tell them exactly what was taken: Livosis 10 mg × 7 tablets.
Blood tests (CK, liver enzymes, renal function) will be ordered to assess damage.
Treatment is supportive — there is no specific antidote; IV fluids and monitoring are the mainstay.

This is not a situation to monitor at home. Rhabdomyolysis can develop hours after ingestion and cause permanent kidney damage if untreated.

Was this intentional or accidental? If this was a deliberate act of self-harm, please reach out to a crisis helpline or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
