Rosubar 10mg Tablet

Rosubar 10mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Rosuvastatin, which belongs to a class of medications known as statins. It is prescribed to lower elevated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.

• Rosuvastatin: This medication inhibits an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a crucial role in cholesterol production in the liver. By blocking this enzyme, rosuvastatin helps lower LDL cholesterol (often referred to as “bad” cholesterol) and triglyceride levels while increasing HDL cholesterol (often referred to as “good” cholesterol) levels.
