Rosuvastatin 20 mg belongs to the class of medications known as statins, which are primarily used to lower cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. It works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme responsible for cholesterol production in the liver. Regular use of Rosuvastatin can reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and complications related to atherosclerosis. This medication is commonly prescribed for patients with high cholesterol, mixed dyslipidemia, or at risk of cardiovascular events. Rosuvastatin also helps improve the levels of “good” HDL cholesterol and reduce “bad” LDL cholesterol. It is important to combine this treatment with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle modifications to achieve the best results.
