Medical Description

Treatment of elevated serum cholesterol level Dosage: 5 or 10 mg once daily; may increase after 4 weeks if necessary. Usual Max: 20 mg once daily.

Indication & Usage

Rosuvastatin is used along with a proper diet to help lower 'bad' cholesterol and fats (such as LDL, triglycerides) and raise 'good' cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It belongs to a group of drugs known as 'statins.' It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver. Lowering 'bad' cholesterol and triglycerides and raising 'good' cholesterol decreases the risk of heart disease and helps to prevent strokes and heart attacks.In addition to eating a proper diet (such as a low cholesterol/low-fat diet), other lifestyle changes that may help this medication work better include exercising, losing weight if overweight, and stopping smoking. Talk with your doctor for more details.
