Aurora 20mg Tablet

Aurora 20mg Tablet contains Rosuvastatin, a statin medication used primarily to manage cholesterol levels in individuals at risk of cardiovascular disease.

Uses:

• Reduces levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides in the blood.
• Increases levels of good cholesterol (HDL).
• Helps prevent heart disease and stroke, especially for those with diabetes, coronary heart disease, or other risk factors.
