Description

Rosuvax (10Mg) is a statin tablet containing Rosuvastatin, manufactured by Asian Continental. It is commonly prescribed as a starting dose to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, helping protect cardiovascular health. Each pack contains 10 film-coated tablets, offering a standard entry-level dose for patients beginning treatment for high cholesterol, often alongside lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.

Ingredients

Each film-coated tablet contains 10mg of Rosuvastatin, along with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support tablet coating and stability.

Dosage Form

Rosuvax is available as an oral film-coated tablet, taken by mouth with water, with or without food.

Uses

Rosuvax is used to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglyceride levels in the blood, while slightly raising good cholesterol (HDL). By keeping blood vessels clearer, it helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular problems, particularly when diet and exercise alone haven’t achieved the desired results.

How to Use

Take Rosuvax exactly as directed by your doctor, typically once daily, at any time of day, with or without food. Try to take it at the same time each day for consistency. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly without your doctor’s advice, as this may cause cholesterol levels to rise again.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include muscle pain, weakness, headache, nausea, or abdominal discomfort. Some individuals may experience daytime drowsiness. Less commonly, mild and usually temporary elevations in liver enzymes may occur. Contact your doctor if side effects are severe or persistent.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Rosuvastatin is contraindicated during pregnancy, as cholesterol is essential for fetal development and statins may harm the developing baby. It is also contraindicated during breastfeeding. If you become pregnant while taking Rosuvax, stop use immediately and consult your doctor.

Storage Instructions

Store Rosuvax at room temperature, away from light, heat, and moisture. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the packaging.
