Description
Ruvastat 10mg is a prescription medication designed to effectively manage cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health. Each film-coated tablet contains 10mg of rosuvastatin, a next-generation statin known for its high potency and favorable safety profile.
How It Works
Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme responsible for cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This leads to a significant reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol—commonly referred to as “bad” cholesterol—while simultaneously increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the “good” cholesterol. The medication also helps reduce triglycerides; a type of fat found in the blood.
Key Benefits
- Lowers LDL cholesterol to reduce arterial plaque buildup
- Raises HDL cholesterol to support vascular health
- Decreases triglyceride levels, improving overall lipid balance
- Reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and related events
- Slows the progression of atherosclerosis
