Rozavel 10 mg Tablet

Rozavel 10 mg Tablet contains 10 mg of rosuvastatin in each tablet. It belongs to the statin class of medicines, which help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart and blood vessel problems. This product is used along with diet and lifestyle changes to treat high cholesterol, mixed lipid problems, and to lower the risk of heart attack and stroke in some people.

How it works: Rosuvastatin in Rozavel 10 mg Tablet blocks an enzyme your liver uses to make cholesterol, which helps lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides. The tablet also helps your liver remove more cholesterol from the blood, which can support better heart and blood vessel health over time.

Rozavel 10 mg Tablet is a mid-strength option between Rozavel 5 mg Tablet and the higher 20 mg and 40 mg strengths. A doctor may choose Rozavel 10 mg Tablet when a lower dose is not enough to reach cholesterol goals, but a higher-strength tablet is not yet needed. It is not usually the starting strength for everyone, so it should be used only after a clinician has assessed your cholesterol levels and overall risk.

• High LDL cholesterol
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• Lowering triglycerides
• Raising HDL cholesterol
• Reducing risk of heart attack and stroke in selected patients

• Swallow the Rozavel 10 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember your dose.
• Rozavel 10 mg Tablet can be taken with or without food.
• Follow the diet plan your doctor recommended, because the tablet works best with lifestyle changes.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose; skip it if it is almost time for the next dose.
• If you also take a bile acid sequestrant, ask your pharmacist about spacing doses apart.

Each Rozavel 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of rosuvastatin per tablet. It is usually taken once daily, but your doctor decides the exact schedule based on your cholesterol results, other medicines, and health history. Do not take more than the amount prescribed; the maximum daily dose of rosuvastatin is determined by the prescriber and is not the same for every patient.

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