About
RAZEL 40 TAB contains Rosuvastatin, a potent medication belonging to the class of drugs known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, or statins. It works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that is crucial for cholesterol production. By blocking this enzyme, Rosuvastatin effectively reduces the synthesis of cholesterol, leading to a significant decrease in levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), often referred to as "bad" cholesterol, and triglycerides. It also helps to increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), or "good" cholesterol. This action helps to prevent the buildup of plaque in the arteries, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases. It is an essential part of a comprehensive cardiovascular risk reduction strategy, often used in conjunction with diet and lifestyle modifications.
