Rosuvastatin

About Rosuvastatin

Rosuvastatin is a medication that belongs to a group of drugs known as statins. This medication works by reducing the levels of "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein or LDL) in your blood while increasing the levels of "good" cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein or HDL). By doing so, Rosuvastatin helps lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. It is suitable for individuals who need to manage their cholesterol levels to improve their heart health.

Dosage and usage

The typical starting dose of Rosuvastatin is 5 to 10 mg once daily, with or without food. Your doctor may adjust your dose based on your cholesterol levels and how you respond to the medication. The maximum recommended dose is 40 mg per day. It is important to take Rosuvastatin regularly to get the most benefit from it. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
