Description

Rosuvax (5Mg) is a statin tablet containing Rosuvastatin, manufactured by Asian Continental. It is often prescribed as a gentle starting dose for individuals with mildly elevated cholesterol or those at higher risk of side effects, offering effective cholesterol management with a lower initial intensity. Each pack contains 10 film-coated tablets, providing a suitable option for patients beginning statin therapy under medical guidance.

Ingredients

Each film-coated tablet contains 5mg 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 helping keep blood vessels clearer, it reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications, especially when lifestyle changes alone haven’t been enough.

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 best results. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or split it. Do not discontinue use without consulting your doctor, as stopping suddenly 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 mild drowsiness. Less commonly, temporary elevations in liver enzymes may occur. Contact your doctor if side effects are severe, unusual, or persistent.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Rosuvastatin is contraindicated during pregnancy, as cholesterol plays an essential role in 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.
