Bestor-5 MG

Rosuvastatin (5mg)

Used to treat high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia, mixed dyslipidemia) and high triglycerides; helps reduce risk of cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke) in high-risk patients along with diet and lifestyle changes.

Rosuvastatin is a statin that inhibits HMG‑CoA reductase, an enzyme needed for cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides and can increase HDL (good cholesterol), reducing plaque progression and cardiovascular risk.

Tablet for oral use. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Continue cholesterol-lowering diet and exercise; do not stop without medical advice.
