Rosuvastatin Uses
Rosuvastatin is used in the treatment of high cholesterol, high triglycerides and prevention of heart attack and stroke.
How Rosuvastatin works
Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication (statin). It works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) that is required by the body to make cholesterol, thereby lowering "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides and raising "good" cholesterol (HDL).
