Additionally, it is used to lower the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack or stroke, in patients with risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of heart disease.

Description:
Rosuvastatin 40mg is a high-potency statin medication used to manage elevated cholesterol levels and reduce cardiovascular risk. It works by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the liver, which plays a central role in the production of cholesterol. This leads to a significant reduction in LDL (bad cholesterol), an increase in HDL (good cholesterol), and a decrease in triglycerides. Rosuvastatin 40mg is often prescribed to patients with severe hyperlipidemia or those at high risk of heart attack and stroke, including individuals with a history of coronary artery disease or diabetes.
