About
ROZAT 10MG TAB contains Rosuvastatin 10 mg, a potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) indicated for the management of hypercholesterolemia and the prevention of cardiovascular disease. It works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for cholesterol synthesis in the liver, leading to a significant reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol, and triglycerides, while also elevating high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). This comprehensive lipid-modifying action helps to stabilize atherosclerotic plaques and reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events.
This dosage is commonly used for patients requiring more substantial lipid lowering or those at higher cardiovascular risk. It is an essential component of a holistic approach to cardiovascular health, complementing dietary changes and regular exercise. Regular monitoring of lipid profiles and liver function tests is crucial to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes and safety during treatment.
