RozaVEL 20 Tablet

Description

RozaVEL 20 Tablet is a prescription lipid-lowering medicine that contains Rosuvastatin (20mg) as its active ingredient. It belongs to a class of drugs known as statins, which work by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA reductase) involved in cholesterol production in the liver. By reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the body, it helps lower “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing “good” cholesterol (HDL).

This medicine is mainly prescribed to treat hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), mixed dyslipidemia, and prevent heart-related complications like heart attack, stroke, or atherosclerosis in patients at high cardiovascular risk.

Uses:

• Lowers high cholesterol and triglyceride levels

• Prevents buildup of plaque in arteries (atherosclerosis)

• Reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke

• Helps improve overall cardiovascular health

How to Use:
Take RozaVEL 20 Tablet once daily, preferably at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food, but it should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Continue taking this medicine even if you feel well, as high cholesterol often has no noticeable symptoms.

Dosage:
The dosage should be taken as advised by your doctor based on your medical condition, cholesterol levels, and treatment response. Do not stop or change the dose without consulting your healthcare provider.

Precautions:

• Avoid taking this medicine if you have liver disease or severe kidney problems.

• Inform your doctor if you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, as it could be a sign of muscle damage.

• Limit or avoid alcohol intake, as alcohol may increase the risk of liver problems.

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not use this medication, as it can harm the baby.

• Regular monitoring of liver function tests (LFTs) and cholesterol levels is recommended during treatment.

• Follow a low-fat diet, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy lifestyle for better results.

Side Effects:
Common side effects include:

• Muscle pain or weakness

• Headache

• Dizziness

• Nausea or abdominal pain

• Constipation

Rare but serious side effects may include liver enzyme elevation, severe muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis), or kidney problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you notice symptoms such as dark urine, persistent muscle pain, yellowing of the eyes/skin, or extreme fatigue.
