ROSITOR 20MG 14 TABS

Each tablet of Rositor 10mg contains:

• Rosuvastatin calcium (10mg): This active ingredient belongs to a class of medications known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, commonly referred to as “statins.”

Statins function by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that plays a role in cholesterol production, which helps to lower the amount of cholesterol made by the body.

Rositor 10mg is primarily prescribed for managing lipid levels:

• High Cholesterol: It is used to help lower elevated levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides.
• Increases HDL: It may also help increase levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
• Cardiovascular Risk Reduction: In patients with certain risk factors, it is used to help slow the progression of atherosclerosis (a condition involving the buildup of plaque in arteries) and potentially reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke.

Common Side Effects: Possible side effects may include headache, muscle aches (myalgia), stomach discomfort, nausea, and weakness.

Important Warnings:

• Muscle Pain: It is important to report any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness to your doctor, particularly if it occurs with a fever.
• Liver Function: Regular blood tests may be necessary to monitor liver function while taking this medication.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: This medication is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy, if you are planning a pregnancy, or while breastfeeding.
