Product Description
Rozovas 5mg Tablets 30s is a statin medication containing rosuvastatin calcium equivalent to 5mg rosuvastatin per film-coated tablet. It is used as an adjunct to diet for treating hyperlipidaemias, including primary hypercholesterolaemia (heterozygous familial), mixed dyslipidaemia, homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia, and for prevention of stroke in patients at high risk of cardiovascular events. Rosuvastatin selectively and competitively inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, increasing hepatic LDL receptors to enhance LDL uptake and catabolism. It also reduces apolipoprotein B, triglycerides, and increases HDL cholesterol. This provides effective management of dyslipidaemia when diet and exercise are insufficient. Tablets are suitable for oral use in adults; dose adjustment needed in renal impairment (e.g., start 5mg in severe cases).
