JUPIROS 10MG TAB 15.S

About

JUPIROS 10MG TAB contains Rosuvastatin 10mg, a potent member of the statin class of drugs, which are HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. This medication is widely prescribed for the management of hyperlipidemia and for the crucial reduction of cardiovascular event risk. Rosuvastatin works by effectively inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in the liver, which is a key step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. This action leads to a significant decrease in the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often termed "bad" cholesterol, and triglycerides, while also contributing to a modest elevation in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, or "good" cholesterol. The 10mg dosage is frequently initiated for patients requiring substantial lipid reduction or those identified as being at an elevated risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, providing robust protection against conditions like heart attack and stroke by improving the overall lipid profile and stabilizing arterial plaques.
