Description

Rosuvax (20Mg) is a statin tablet containing Rosuvastatin, manufactured by Asian Continental. It is designed to effectively lower cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, the liver enzyme responsible for cholesterol production. Each pack contains 10 film-coated tablets, suitable for patients requiring high-intensity cholesterol management as part of a broader heart-health treatment plan.

Ingredients

Each film-coated tablet contains 20mg 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 manage high blood cholesterol levels, particularly when diet and exercise alone are insufficient. It helps lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while slightly raising good cholesterol (HDL), reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.

How to Use

Take Rosuvax exactly as directed by your doctor, typically once daily, at any time of day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or split it. Continue following your prescribed diet and exercise plan alongside the medication, and do not stop treatment suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this may cause cholesterol levels to rise again.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include muscle pain, weakness, headache, nausea, abdominal pain, or daytime drowsiness. Less commonly, Rosuvax may mildly elevate liver enzymes, which is usually temporary; regular liver function monitoring may be recommended. Contact your doctor if you experience severe or persistent symptoms.

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 due to potential risks to the nursing infant. If you become pregnant while using Rosuvax, stop use immediately and consult your doctor.

Storage Instructions

Store Rosuvax at room temperature, between 10°C and 30°C, away from light and heat. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the packaging.
