Description

Description

Kestore 20mg is an oral tablet formulated with Rosuvastatin Calcium, a medicine belonging to the statin class of cholesterol-lowering drugs. It works by blocking an enzyme in the liver called HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a central role in producing cholesterol. By reducing the liver’s cholesterol output, Kestore helps lower “bad” LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while supporting healthier levels of “good” HDL cholesterol. This helps protect blood vessel health and reduce the long-term risk of cardiovascular events. The pack contains 15 tablets, suitable for continued use as part of a doctor-guided cholesterol management plan.

Ingredients

Each Kestore tablet contains 20mg of Rosuvastatin Calcium as its active ingredient. The tablet also includes standard pharmaceutical excipients such as fillers, binders, and a film coating, which help maintain the tablet’s structure and support consistent absorption once ingested. Patients with known sensitivities to any inactive ingredients should check the packaging or consult a pharmacist before starting treatment.

Dosage Form

Kestore is supplied as a solid, film-coated oral tablet, meant to be swallowed whole with water, without crushing, chewing, or splitting.

Uses

Kestore is used to manage hyperlipidemia, a condition involving elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, helping to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events. It is generally prescribed alongside a healthy diet and lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise and weight management. It may also be used in certain genetic conditions, such as familial hypercholesterolemia, where cholesterol levels are significantly elevated due to inherited factors.

How to Use

Kestore should be taken exactly as directed by a doctor, generally once daily, with or without food, and ideally at the same time each day for consistent results. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and should never be crushed, chewed, or split. It is important to continue following your doctor’s advice about diet and exercise alongside this medicine, and it may take up to four weeks of consistent use before the full cholesterol-lowering benefit becomes apparent. Periodic blood tests are typically recommended throughout treatment to monitor its effectiveness and check liver function. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered, unless the next dose is nearly due, in which case it should be skipped rather than doubled.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Kestore include headache, muscle pain, nausea, and mild stomach discomfort. Some patients may also experience dizziness or fatigue. Less commonly, more serious effects can occur, such as unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness (myalgia), liver function changes, or in rare cases, severe muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis) that can affect kidney function. Any unusual or severe symptoms should be reported to a doctor promptly, as they may require further evaluation.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Kestore is not recommended during pregnancy, as statins may interfere with the cholesterol synthesis needed for normal fetal development. It is also not recommended during breastfeeding, as the medicine may pass into breast milk. Women who are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding should consult their doctor before using this medicine, or before continuing treatment if pregnancy occurs.

Storage Instructions

Kestore tablets should be stored at room temperature, in a dry place away from direct sunlight and excess moisture. The tablets should remain in their original packaging until needed and be kept well out of the reach of children and pets. Any expired or unused tablets should be disposed of properly rather than through household waste.
