Rosuasit - 5 mg Tablets (Rosuvastatin 5 mg)

The Gentle Start to Cholesterol Management

Rosuasit 5 mg, containing Rosuvastatin, is a lower starting dose often prescribed for individuals initiating cholesterol-lowering therapy or those with certain risk factors for side effects. It works by blocking an enzyme in the liver (HMG-CoA reductase) to reduce the production of cholesterol.

Uses of Rosuasit 5 mg:

1. Lowering High Cholesterol: Used in conjunction with diet and exercise to decrease elevated levels of LDL-cholesterol (the \\\"bad\\\" cholesterol) and triglycerides.

2. Risk Factors: May be prescribed as the initial dose for patients of Asian descent, those over 70 years of age, or those with moderate kidney impairment, as they may be more sensitive to the effects of the medication.

3. Maintenance Therapy: Suitable for patients who have achieved their target cholesterol levels on a higher dose and are transitioning to a lower maintenance dose.

4. Prevention: Helps slow the progression of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Dosage and Administration:

· Always follow your doctor\\\'s instructions precisely. Do not stop or change your dose without consulting your physician.

· Rosuasit 5 mg is typically taken once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day.

· This is often an initial dose, and your doctor may adjust it based on your cholesterol test results (lipid profile), which should be checked regularly.
