Consivas 20 Tablet

Consivas 20 Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains rosuvastatin 20 mg in each tablet. Rosuvastatin belongs to the statin class of medicines, which are used to lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides while helping raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol. Doctors also prescribe Consivas 20 Tablet to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other blood vessel complications in people at higher cardiovascular risk. This pack contains a strip/box of 10 tablets manufactured by Emcure Pharmaceuticals, India.

How it works: Rosuvastatin in Consivas 20 Tablet blocks an enzyme the liver uses to make cholesterol, which helps the liver remove more LDL cholesterol from the blood. As a tablet, it is swallowed whole and delivers a fixed 20 mg dose that works gradually with regular daily use.

Consivas 20 Tablet is a higher-strength rosuvastatin tablet compared with Consivas 5 Tablet, so it is usually chosen when a doctor wants a stronger cholesterol-lowering effect. It is not the usual starting strength for many patients; lower strengths are often tried first, and this 20 mg tablet may be selected if a smaller dose is not enough or if the patient’s risk level calls for more intensive treatment.

• High LDL cholesterol
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• High triglycerides
• Slow buildup of fatty deposits in arteries
• Lowering heart attack and stroke risk

• Swallow Consivas 20 Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it.
• Take it once daily at the same time each day unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• It can be taken with or without food.
• Try not to skip doses; consistent daily use helps maintain cholesterol control.
• If you also take other medicines for cholesterol, follow your prescriber’s timing instructions carefully.

Each Consivas 20 Tablet provides rosuvastatin 20 mg per tablet. The usual schedule is once daily, but the exact dose and whether this strength is appropriate are decided by your doctor based on your cholesterol levels, risk factors, and response to treatment. Do not take more than 1 tablet in 24 hours unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
