Description
Product Overview
Turbovas 40 Tablet is a medication that belongs to the group of drugs known as statins. It is primarily used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. By lowering the levels of cholesterol in the blood, Turbovas helps prevent the buildup of fatty substances that can narrow blood vessels and increase the risk of cardiovascular events.
Salt Composition / Key Ingredient:
- Rosuvastatin (40mg)
How Turbovas 40 Tablet Works:
Turbovas 40 Tablet is a lipid-lowering medication (statin) that works by blocking an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. This enzyme is essential for the production of cholesterol in the liver. By inhibiting this enzyme:
- It lowers the levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides.
- It also helps raise “good” cholesterol (HDL).
This action helps to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications associated with high cholesterol levels.
How to Use Turbovas 40 Tablet:
- Take Turbovas 40 Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
- Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break it.
- The medicine can be taken with or without food. However, it’s recommended to take it at the same time every day for better consistency.
- Do not stop taking the medicine even if you feel fine. High cholesterol often has no symptoms, but discontinuing treatment can cause cholesterol levels to rise again, which increases the risk of cardiovascular problems.
