Uses

Rosuvastatin is used in the treatment of increased triglycerides levels in blood and increased cholesterol levels in blood.

Rosuvastatin works by blocking the action of a the enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase which the body needs to make cholesterol. This lowers the level of cholesterol and directly lowers the risk of heart and blood vessel disease.
