Ritor 10mg Tablet

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.
