Rosuasit 10 mg Tablets (Rosuvastatin 10 mg)
Effective Control for Elevated Cholesterol
Rosuasit 10 mg, containing Rosuvastatin, is a common and effective therapeutic dose used to manage hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol) and dyslipidemia. This strength provides a potent effect to significantly reduce lipid levels and mitigate cardiovascular risk.
Key Uses of Rosuasit 10 mg:
1. Primary Treatment: A standard starting or maintenance dose for many adults needing a substantial reduction in \\\"bad\\\" cholesterol (LDL-C).
2. Achieving Target Levels: Prescribed when the 5 mg dose may be insufficient to reach the desired therapeutic goals for lowering LDL-C and total cholesterol.
3. Cardiovascular Disease Prevention: Used to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, in patients with risk factors but without established heart disease.
4. Mixed Dyslipidemia: Effective in improving the balance of all fats in the blood, including lowering triglycerides and increasing \\\"good\\\" cholesterol (HDL-C).
Dosage and Administration:
· Take exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not chew, crush, or split the tablet unless advised by your doctor.
· Rosuasit 10 mg is usually taken once daily, regardless of meal times.
· Therapy with Rosuasit is typically long-term, and your adherence to the prescribed regimen, along with diet and exercise, is crucial for sustained benefit.
Mechanism of Action:
Rosuvastatin belongs to the class of medications called statins. It works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in the liver, which is the rate-limiting step in the body\\\'s production of cholesterol. This action reduces cholesterol production and increases the liver\\\'s ability to clear LDL cholesterol from the blood.
Common Potential Side Effects:
· Headache
· Muscle pain (myalgia)
· Weakness or fatigue
· Nausea or abdominal pain
· Constipation or diarrhea
When to Contact Your Doctor Immediately:
Stop taking Rosuasit and seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
· Unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially if accompanied by fever or unusual tiredness (could be signs of a rare but serious muscle condition).
· Signs of liver problems, such as unusual fatigue, loss of appetite, pain in the upper abdomen, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice).
Contraindications :
· Are allergic to Rosuvastatin or any other ingredients in the tablet.
· Have active liver disease or unexplained, persistent elevations in liver enzyme levels.
