Rosuvastatin

Uses

Rosuvastatin is used in the treatment of high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and for the prevention of heart attack and stroke.

How it Works

How Rosuvastatin works Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering medication known as a statin. It functions by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which is necessary for the body to produce cholesterol. This action results in a reduction of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, while simultaneously increasing "good" cholesterol (HDL).

Side Effects

Common side effects of Rosuvastatin include muscle pain, weakness, headache, abdominal pain, dizziness, joint pain, and nausea.

Expert Advice

  • Rosuvastatin treats high cholesterol by lowering "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides (fats).
  • It should be taken in addition to regular exercise and a low-fat diet.
  • Rosuvastatin also reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.
  • In general, Rosuvastatin is considered safe.
  • Possible side effects include diarrhea, gas, or an upset stomach. If these occur, take it with food.
  • Inform your doctor if you experience fatigue, muscle weakness, or muscle pain.
  • Your doctor may check your liver function before starting treatment and regularly thereafter.
  • Notify your doctor if you notice signs of liver problems, such as:
    • Stomach pains
    • Unusually dark urine
    • Yellowing of skin or eyes
  • Inform your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver disease, or diabetes before starting treatment with this medicine.
  • If you are diabetic, monitor your blood sugar levels regularly, as Rosuvastatin may cause an increase in your blood sugar levels.
  • Do not take Rosuvastatin if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
