Lipira 2.5 mg Tablet

Lipira 2.5 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 2.5 mg of rosuvastatin in each tablet. Rosuvastatin is a statin, a class of medicines used to lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides while helping raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol. Lipira 2.5 mg Tablet is used along with diet and other lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cholesterol-related problems. Because it is a tablet, it is taken by mouth and is designed for regular daily use when prescribed.

How it works: Rosuvastatin in Lipira 2.5 mg Tablet blocks a liver enzyme your body uses to make cholesterol. This helps the liver remove more LDL cholesterol from the blood, lowering cholesterol levels over time.

Lipira 2.5 mg Tablet is a low-strength rosuvastatin tablet, which may suit people who need a gentle starting amount or who are more sensitive to statin side effects. Doctors may choose Lipira 2.5 mg Tablet when a smaller dose is appropriate before increasing treatment, or when they want more careful dose adjustment than with higher-strength tablets.
