About this product
Overview
RAYTOR 20 MG TABLET contains Rosuvastatin as its active ingredient. It is a medication classified as a statin, primarily prescribed to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a key role in the production of cholesterol in the liver.
Mechanism of Action
Rosuvastatin exerts its pharmacological effects by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, a precursor of cholesterol. By inhibiting this enzyme, rosuvastatin reduces the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver, leading to decreased levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides, and increases in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.

RAYTOR 20 MG TABLET is indicated for the following conditions:
- Hypercholesterolemia: For the treatment of elevated levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides in adults and pediatric patients aged 10 to 17 years.

- Prevention of Cardiovascular Events: To reduce the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke, and revascularization procedures in patients with established cardiovascular disease or at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
