Rosuvastatin 10 Mg Tablets

Rosuvastatin tablets belong to a class of medications known as statins—this works by blocking an enzyme in the liver that is responsible for producing cholesterol. By reducing the production of cholesterol in the body, rosuvastatin tablets help to control overall cholesterol levels. As a result, this helps to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other related conditions. Rosuvastatin tablets work by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase. This is a chemical that plays a key role in the production of cholesterol in the liver. By blocking this enzyme, rosuvastatin reduces the amount of cholesterol which leads to lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and higher levels of HDL (good) cholesterol in the bloodstream. 

Rosuvastatin tablets are typically prescribed to individuals with high cholesterol levels, particularly those who have not been able to lower their cholesterol through lifestyle changes alone. Your doctor may recommend rosuvastatin tablets if you have been diagnosed with conditions such as familial hypercholesterolemia or atherosclerosis, or if you have other risk factors for heart disease.
