Jupiros 5 Tablet

Jupiros 5 Tablet contains rosuvastatin 5 mg in each tablet. It is a statin medicine used to lower high cholesterol and triglycerides and to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems in people at risk. Jupiros 5 Tablet is taken by mouth as a standard tablet, and it works best when used along with diet, exercise, and other heart-healthy changes. This product is manufactured by Alkem Laboratories, India and comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Rosuvastatin in Jupiros 5 Tablet blocks an enzyme your liver uses to make cholesterol, which helps lower LDL, or "bad," cholesterol. As a tablet, it delivers the medicine in a swallowed oral form that is absorbed into the body to help the liver clear more cholesterol from the blood.

Jupiros 5 Tablet is the 5 mg strength, which is one of the lower rosuvastatin doses. It is often chosen when a doctor wants a gentler starting or maintenance dose, especially for people who need cholesterol lowering but may be more sensitive to statin side effects or drug interactions. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed here, Jupiros 5 Tablet is the exact product available in this brand line and should be used only as prescribed.

• High LDL cholesterol
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• High triglycerides
• Lowering cardiovascular risk
• Adjunct to diet and exercise

• Swallow Jupiros 5 Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it once daily at the same time each day unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• It can be taken with or without food.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your doctor or pharmacist specifically says it is okay.
• Follow a low-fat, cholesterol-lowering diet and stay active while using this medicine.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Jupiros 5 Tablet provides rosuvastatin 5 mg per tablet. For many adults, rosuvastatin is taken once daily, but the exact dose and whether it should be increased depends on your cholesterol levels, other medicines, kidney function, and treatment goals. Your doctor decides the dose and maximum daily amount for you; do not take extra tablets to make the dose higher unless instructed.

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

Common side effects of Rosuvastatin may include:

• Muscle aches or soreness, which can happen with any statin and may be more noticeable if the dose is increased
• Headache
• Nausea
• Stomach pain or indigestion
• Constipation
• Weakness or tiredness

• Jupiros 5 Tablet may not be appropriate if you have active liver disease or unexplained liver test problems.
• Tell your doctor about any history of muscle disorders, because statins can rarely cause muscle injury.
• Avoid heavy alcohol use, since it can add strain to the liver.
• Let your clinician know if you have kidney disease, hypothyroidism, or are older, because these can raise the risk of side effects.
• If you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, ask your doctor before using rosuvastatin.
• Report any new muscle pain, weakness, or dark urine promptly, especially after starting therapy or increasing the dose.
• Use caution with grapefruit products only if your clinician advises, since overall statin plans may need review even though rosuvastatin has fewer food-related issues than some others.

• Cyclosporine
• Gemfibrozil and other fibrates
• Warfarin or other blood thinners that require INR monitoring
• Some HIV, hepatitis C, or other combination medicines that can raise statin levels
• Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium, which may reduce absorption if taken too close together
