ROSUVA 20MG TABLETS

ROSUVA 20mg Tablets contain the active ingredient Rosuvastatin, which is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver involved in the production of cholesterol. By reducing cholesterol levels, it helps to decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases associated with high cholesterol, such as heart attack and stroke.

Uses:

ROSUVA 20mg Tablets are prescribed for the following purposes:

1. Hypercholesterolemia: It is used to lower elevated levels of LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, often referred to as “bad cholesterol.”
2. Hypertriglyceridemia: ROSUVA can also lower elevated triglyceride levels, another type of lipid that can contribute to cardiovascular risk.
3. Dyslipidemia: It is used to improve the overall lipid profile by reducing total cholesterol levels in the blood.
4. Cardiovascular Risk Reduction: ROSUVA is used as an adjunct to a healthy lifestyle to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in individuals with or without a history of cardiovascular disease.

3. Gastrointestinal Upset: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach discomfort may occur in some individuals.
