About
Crevast 10mg Tablet contains Rosuvastatin, a highly effective HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, commonly known as a statin. It works by blocking the enzyme responsible for cholesterol production in the liver, thereby significantly reducing levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol, and triglycerides. Concurrently, it helps to increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, or "good" cholesterol. This comprehensive action not only improves the overall lipid profile but also plays a crucial role in preventing the buildup of atherosclerotic plaque in the arteries, which is a primary cause of cardiovascular diseases. Rosuvastatin is a cornerstone in the management of dyslipidemia and in both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events.
