Product Introduction:
Rosuvastatin is a medication belonging to the class of drugs known as statins. It is commonly sold under the brand name Crestor. Rosuvastatin works by reducing the levels of “bad” cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein or LDL) and triglycerides in the blood while increasing the levels of “good” cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein or HDL). It is typically prescribed alongside a proper diet and exercise regimen to manage high cholesterol levels.
Uses:
Rosuvastatin is primarily used to treat high cholesterol and related conditions such as familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic disorder causing high cholesterol levels). It is also prescribed to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases in individuals with risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, or a history of cardiovascular events.
