Overview
Rosuvor 10mg Tablet contains rosuvastatin calcium, a statin medicine used to lower high cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events in adults with high cholesterol or existing cardiovascular risk factors.
Rosuvastatin works by blocking HMG-CoA reductase, the liver enzyme responsible for producing cholesterol. With less cholesterol produced in the liver, liver cells increase the number of LDL receptors on their surface, pulling more LDL (“bad”) cholesterol out of the bloodstream.
How it Works
Rosuvor blocks HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol production within liver cells. This reduces the liver’s own cholesterol output and prompts liver cells to increase LDL receptor numbers, clearing more LDL cholesterol from the blood.
Directions for Use
Take the tablet once daily, with or without food, at about the same time each day.
Dosage
The usual starting dose is 10mg once daily, which the doctor may adjust based on cholesterol response and individual risk factors; the exact dose is individualised by the treating doctor.
