Rozustat 20 Tablet

Description

Rozustat 20 Tablet contains Rosuvastatin 20mg, a high-strength statin medication used to manage high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, reducing LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides, while increasing HDL (good cholesterol), thereby lowering the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and atherosclerosis.

This higher strength is prescribed for patients who need more aggressive cholesterol reduction compared to the 10mg dose.
