Rvastine 5mg Tablet

Rvastine 5mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Rosuvastatin. It belongs to a class of medications known as statins, which are used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that plays a key role in the production of cholesterol.

Uses:

• Lowering cholesterol: Rvastine Tablet is prescribed to reduce elevated levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol), triglycerides, and to increase HDL cholesterol (“good” cholesterol) in the blood.
• Cardiovascular health: By lowering cholesterol levels, Rosuvastatin helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, and coronary artery disease.
• Prevention of atherosclerosis: Rosuvastatin may also be used to slow down or prevent the buildup of plaque in the arteries (atherosclerosis), which can lead to narrowing and blockages.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects of Rvastine Tablet may include:
  • Headache
  • Muscle pain or weakness
  • Abdominal pain
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Constipation or diarrhea
• Serious but rare side effects may include liver problems, muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis), or an increased risk of diabetes.

Precautions:

• Take Rvastine Tablet as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once daily with or without food.
• Inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially liver or kidney disease, diabetes, or thyroid disorders.
• Let your doctor know about all other medications you are taking, as some drugs may interact with Rosuvastatin, increasing the risk of side effects.
