Rovista 10mg tablet

Brand: Getz Pharma

Prescription Prescription Required

generic
Rovista 10mg tablet is composed of Rosuvastatin calcium

Rosuvastatin is used along with a proper diet to help lower "bad" cholesterol and fats (such as LDL, triglycerides) and raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It belongs to a group of drugs known as "statins." It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver. Lowering "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides and raising "good" cholesterol decreases the risk of heart disease and helps prevent strokes and heart attacks. In addition to eating a proper diet (such as a low-cholesterol/low-fat diet), other lifestyle changes that may help this medicine work better include exercising, losing weight if overweight, and stopping smoking.

  • Swallow the tablet whole with water.

  • Take rosuvastatin regularly to get the most benefit from it.
  • To help remember, take rosuvastatin at the same time.
  • Quantity is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
  • Do not increase your quantity or take this product more often than directed.

Primary Uses

Hyperlipidemia

Indications

  • Rosuvastatin is used for treating hyperlipidemia. An excessive number of triglycerides and bad cholesterol in your blood is referred to as hyperlipidemia.
  • Increased levels of fats in your bloodstream may accumulate in the blood vessels, increasing your risk of heart disease. As a result, Rosuvastatin is used to lower the chance of having a heart attack.
  • Stoke is a disorder caused by a lack of blood circulation to the brain. Unwanted fat deposition may cause constriction of the blood arteries that deliver blood to the brain. This can impede blood flow and raise the risk of a stroke. As a result, Rosuvastatin is used to minimize the risk of stroke by lowering cholesterol levels in the blood.

Side Effects

Patients using this medication may commonly experience weakness, dizziness (lightheadedness), myalgia (muscle pain), diabetes, headaches, stomachache, fatigue, and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy.

Warnings

Pregnancy

Consult your doctor before using rosuvastatin during pregnancy for a better analysis.

Lactation

Consult your doctor before using rosuvastatin during lactation for a better analysis.

Driving

Avoid driving vehicles until you determine how Rosuvastatin affects you

Liver

People with liver diseases should consult their doctors before using Rosuvastatin.

Kidney

Consult your doctor before using rosuvastatin for a better analysis if you have kidney disease.

Alcohol

Limit your intake of alcohol while taking Rosuvastatin. Daily alcohol use with Rosuvastatin use may elevate your risk of liver issues. For more information, consult your doctor.

Precautions

The patients with a history of alcohol abuse, hepatic (liver) impairment or disease, muscle weakness or disorders, hypothyroidism (decreased activity of thyroid gland), renal (kidney) impairment, diabetes, and elderly should use this medicine cautiously.

Contraindications

  • Rosuvastatin is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to Escitalopram or other components present in this medicine.
  • Rosuvastatin is metabolized in the liver. As a result, if you have pre-existing liver problems, this medication is not suggested since it may cause Rosuvastatin accumulation in your blood, increasing the chance of side effects. It may possibly cause more liver damage.
  • Rosuvastatin should not be used if you have seriously impaired kidneys since a malfunctioning kidney would not filter Rosuvastatin entirely out of your body, resulting in toxicity.
