Rozavel 20 Tablet

About

Rozavel 20 Tablet contains Rosuvastatin, a potent medication belonging to the class of drugs known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, commonly referred to as statins. It is primarily prescribed to effectively lower high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, thereby significantly reducing the risk of serious cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease. Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting a key enzyme in the liver responsible for cholesterol production, leading to a substantial reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol and a beneficial increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or "good" cholesterol. This comprehensive lipid-lowering effect makes it a cornerstone in the pharmacological management of dyslipidemia and for both primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in at-risk individuals.
