About this product
Overview
Ritor 10mg Tablet contains Rosuvastatin, which belongs to a class of medications known as statins. It is prescribed to lower high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that is responsible for producing cholesterol, thereby reducing the amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream.
Features
- Cholesterol-lowering medication: Ritor Tablet is effective in lowering both low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, also known as “bad” cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in the blood.
- Prevention of cardiovascular events: By lowering cholesterol levels, Rosuvastatin helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease.
- Once-daily dosing: Ritor 10mg Tablet is typically taken once daily, making it convenient for patients to adhere to their treatment regimen.
Uses
- Hypercholesterolemia: Ritor 10mg Tablet is prescribed for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol levels) in patients with primary hyperlipidemia or mixed dyslipidemia.
- Prevention of cardiovascular disease: It may also be used as an adjunct to dietary measures to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with established cardiovascular disease or those at high risk.
