✔️ Indication of Rosu 10mg Tablet

Rosuvastatin is used in the treatment of Heterozygous Hypercholesterolemia (both familial and non-familial), Homozygous Hypercholesterolemia (familial), Dyslipidemia (Mixed) (Fredrickson Type IIa and IIb), and primary cardiovascular disease prevention.

✔️ Pharmacology

By inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, rosuvastatin decreases the production of mevalonate, which in turn decreases the production of cholesterol. The increased number of LDL receptors on the liver cell surface allows for increased clearance of LDL particles from the bloodstream, leading to a decrease in circulating LDL levels. Additionally, the inhibition of VLDL synthesis in the liver leads to a decrease in the number of VLDL and LDL particles, resulting in lower levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.
