ROSUVAS F 10

Description

Product Overview:

Rosuvas F 10 Tablet is a combination medication designed to lower high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. It is used when lifestyle changes, such as a low-fat diet, are not sufficient to control lipid levels. By effectively managing these fat levels, Rosuvas F 10 Tablet helps reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications associated with high cholesterol and triglycerides.

This medicine works best when combined with other lifestyle measures such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, quitting smoking, and reducing alcohol intake. Rosuvas F 10 Tablet is part of a comprehensive treatment plan for managing cholesterol and triglyceride levels, promoting long-term heart health.

Salt Composition / Key Ingredients:

• Fenofibrate (160mg): Fenofibrate helps to lower the levels of triglycerides (fats) in the blood.
• Rosuvastatin (10mg): Rosuvastatin is a statin that reduces the production of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) in the body and increases the level of “good” cholesterol (HDL).

How to Use:

• Dosage: Take Rosuvas F 10 Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dose will depend on your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as how you respond to the medication.
• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.
• With or Without Food: You can take the tablet with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day to help you remember.
• Monitor: Your doctor may recommend regular blood tests to monitor your lipid profile and liver function during treatment.

Uses:

• Prevention of Heart Attack: By lowering cholesterol and triglycerides, Rosuvas F 10 Tablet reduces the risk of atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries) and helps prevent heart attacks.
• Treatment of High Cholesterol: It helps manage high cholesterol by reducing “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and increasing “good” cholesterol (HDL), improving overall cardiovascular health.

Benefits of Rosuvas F Tablet:

• Prevention of Heart Attack: High cholesterol levels can narrow blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Rosuvas F 10 Tablet lowers these cholesterol levels and helps keep blood vessels healthy, reducing the risk of a heart attack and stroke. It is important to continue taking this medicine even if you feel well, as cholesterol issues often do not show symptoms.

Side Effects:

Most side effects are mild and resolve as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if any of the following persist or cause concern, consult your doctor:

• Common Side Effects:
  • Headache
  • Muscle pain
  • Constipation
  • Joint pain
  • Elevated creatine kinase (muscle damage indicator)
  • Elevated liver enzymes (abnormal liver function tests)
  • Diabetes or increased blood sugar levels

If you experience yellowing of the skin or eyes, unusual bruising or bleeding, or severe muscle pain, seek medical attention immediately as these could be signs of more serious conditions.

• Liver Disease: Do not use Rosuvas F 10 Tablet if you have liver disease or abnormal liver function tests.
• Kidney Issues: Inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, as the medication may require adjustment.

How Rosuvas F Tablet Works:

Rosuvas F 10 Tablet combines Fenofibrate and Rosuvastatin to work synergistically to lower lipid levels in the blood:

• Fenofibrate primarily lowers triglyceride levels and can also improve cholesterol levels by increasing HDL (“good” cholesterol).
• Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for producing LDL (“bad” cholesterol), thus reducing its levels and preventing the formation of plaque in the arteries.

Together, these two ingredients provide comprehensive management of blood fat levels, promoting cardiovascular health.
