Rosuvas (Rosuvastatin Calcium Tablets) used

Rosuvas (Rosuvastatin Calcium Tablets) are used to lower high levels of cholesterol (hypercholesterolaemia) and other fats (triglycerides) in the blood, to reduce health risks associated with coronary heart disease (CHD), including heart attack and angina that can be caused by high cholesterol. There are usually no symptoms when you have high cholesterol, which may be due to lifestyle (high-fat diet and lack of exercise) or can be inherited. Rosuvas (Rosuvastatin Calcium Tablets) is used as an adjunct to a healthy low-fat diet and exercise, when response to diet and exercise alone is not sufficient to lower cholesterol levels.

Rosuvas (Rosuvastatin Calcium Tablets) work

Rosuvas (Rosuvastatin Calcium Tablets) contain rosuvastatin which belongs to a group of cholesterol-lowing medications called statins. Cholesterol is needed by the body for many functions such as building cell membranes, producing certain hormones and transporting fat soluble vitamins around the body. However, if there is more cholesterol than the body needs, it becomes deposited in the artery walls where it can build up, blocking the arteries and increasing risk of heart disease. Rosuvastatin in Rosuvas (Rosuvastatin Calcium Tablets) reduces the production of cholesterol in the liver, by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an important enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis. Rosuvas (Rosuvastatin Calcium Tablets) lower levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) that can cause arteries to become hardened and blocked, and also increases levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL) that helps unblock hardened arteries. Rosuvas (Rosuvastatin Calcium Tablets) only blocks cholesterol that is produced in the liver and has no effect on cholesterol that comes from fat in food, which is why a low-fat diet is important even when you are takingRosuvas (Rosuvastatin Calcium Tablets).
