About Rosubest 20

Rosubest 20 is a medicine that can help lower cholesterol.

It is used to treat high cholesterol or to rectify abnormal cholesterol in conjunction with dietary and lifestyle changes.

It is a member of the class of medications known as lipid-lowering medications.

The renowned pharmaceutical company Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd manufactures Rosubest.

Uses of Rosubest 20

Rosubest 20 helps lower glycerides and cholesterol levels (Low-Density Lipoprotein, or LDL), lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke in the future.

High cholesterol, also known as Hyperlipidemia or Dyslipidemia, occurs when there is an excess of cholesterol in the blood.

Your arteries become restricted and clogged when your blood cholesterol level is high, eventually leading to heart disorders like stroke and heart attack.

It contains Rosuvastatin, an active component from the class of medications known as Lipid-lowering drugs.

It is used to lower elevated high blood cholesterol levels (Hyperlipidemia) when dietary and lifestyle changes do not produce the desired outcomes.

Rosubest 20 reduces the risk of coronary disease and cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks, strokes, and chest pain (Angina).

How does Rosubest 20 mg work

Rosubest 20 mg contains Rosuvastatin, a medicine from the class of medications known as Lipid-lowering drugs.

It works by inhibiting liver enzymes, which reduces the amount of cholesterol the liver produces.

HMG-CoA reductase is an enzyme that produces cholesterol; Rosuvastatin inhibits this enzyme and decreases cholesterol levels.

Rosubest 20 mg improves the liver’s uptake and breakdown of cholesterol in the blood.

Thus, when other lifestyle modifications (such as a low-fat diet) have not been successful, Rosubest lowers blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides lipids.

It also raises High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) levels, also known as good cholesterol.
