ROSUKEM10 TAB

About Rosukem 10 contains Rosuvastatin, a potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, commonly known as a statin. It is primarily used to lower elevated cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Rosuvastatin works by blocking the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is crucial for cholesterol production in the liver. This action leads to a significant reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C, or 'bad' cholesterol) and triglycerides, while also increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C, or 'good' cholesterol). By effectively managing lipid profiles, Rosuvastatin plays a vital role in both primary prevention (in individuals at high risk without existing heart disease) and secondary prevention (in those with established cardiovascular disease) of events like heart attack and stroke. Uses Treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia. Reduction of elevated LDL-C, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. Increase in HDL-C in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia. Primary prevention of cardiovascular events in high-risk individuals.
