Hypercholesterolaemia (high LDL/total cholesterol), mixed dyslipidaemia, familial hypercholesterolaemia, prevention of cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke) in at-risk patients as advised by doctor

Rosuvastatin is an HMG‑CoA reductase inhibitor (statin). It reduces cholesterol production in the liver and increases LDL receptor activity, lowering LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while modestly increasing HDL cholesterol. This helps reduce progression of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk.

Tablet for oral use. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow whole with water; continue diet and exercise advice. Do not stop without medical advice.

Headache, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, dizziness, muscle pain (myalgia), weakness, increased liver enzymes

Use caution in kidney impairment, hypothyroidism, older age, heavy alcohol use, and history of muscle disorders. Periodic lipid profile and liver function monitoring may be required.
