Roslaren c 20

About

Roslaren c 20 contains Rosuvastatin 20mg, a potent synthetic HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, commonly known as a statin. This medication works by blocking the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is crucial for cholesterol synthesis in the liver. By inhibiting this enzyme, Rosuvastatin significantly reduces the production of LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides, while also increasing levels of HDL-cholesterol (good cholesterol). It is widely used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia, as well as for the primary prevention of cardiovascular events in individuals at high risk.

Its efficacy in lowering lipid levels contributes to reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other atherosclerotic complications. Rosuvastatin 20mg is considered a moderate to high-intensity statin dose, suitable for patients requiring substantial lipid reduction. Regular monitoring of lipid profiles, liver function tests, and assessment for muscle-related symptoms are important during therapy to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.
