Rosuvastatin 20mg + Ezetimibe 10mg is a prescription medication designed to help manage high cholesterol levels. Rosuvastatin is a statin that works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, reducing the production of LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) in the liver. Ezetimibe complements this action by blocking the absorption of cholesterol from the intestines, resulting in an overall reduction in LDL cholesterol levels. Together, this combination therapy is effective for patients who require additional lipid-lowering beyond what diet and monotherapy can achieve. This combination is often prescribed for patients with hypercholesterolemia, mixed dyslipidemia, or those at risk of cardiovascular events due to elevated cholesterol levels. Regular use, alongside lifestyle modifications such as diet, exercise, and weight management, helps in reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications.
