Rosuvastatin works by blocking HMG-CoA reductase, the liver enzyme that helps build cholesterol. When this enzyme is held back, the liver makes less cholesterol and pulls more LDL cholesterol out of the blood, so LDL levels come down. Slower cholesterol build-up also helps slow the progression of atherosclerosis, the narrowing of arteries caused by fatty deposits. The medicine is meant to be taken along with a proper diet and regular exercise, as advised by the treating doctor, and its effect is usually checked with lipid blood tests during follow-up visits.

Must not be used in acute liver failure or decompensated cirrhosis. Must not be used if you are allergic to rosuvastatin or any ingredient of the tablet. Check with a doctor first: stop the medicine as soon as pregnancy is recognised and consult the prescriber. Check with a doctor first: breastfeeding is not recommended while taking rosuvastatin.
