Rosuvas 20mg Tablet (Rosuvastatin) for Cholesterol Management

Rosuvas 20 contains Rosuvastatin Calcium, a member of the “statin” class of drugs. It works by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the liver, which is responsible for producing cholesterol. By lowering “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while raising “good” cholesterol (HDL), it helps prevent the buildup of fatty deposits in the blood vessels, thereby supporting long-term heart health.

Benefits of Rosuvas 20

• LDL Reduction: Effectively lowers Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) levels.

• Triglyceride Management: Helps in reducing high levels of blood fats (triglycerides).

• Cardiovascular Protection: Reduces the long-term risk of heart attacks and strokes in high-risk patients.

• HDL Optimization: Assists in maintaining or increasing High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) levels.

Risk

Common side effects may include muscle pain (myalgia), headache, abdominal pain, or nausea. In rare cases, statins can cause serious muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis) or liver enzyme elevations. If you experience unexplained muscle weakness or dark urine, consult your doctor immediately.
