ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET belongs to the class of medicines called 'antilipemic' or cholesterol-lowering agent primarily used to lower raised cholesterol level. This reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke in future. High cholesterol known as hyperlipidaemia or dyslipidaemia occurs when there is an excess of the unhealthy balance of cholesterol in the blood. When the cholesterol level is high in the blood, your arteries get narrowed and clogged, contributing to heart diseases, like stroke and heart attack. Two cholesterol types are found in our body, namely, good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein) and bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein). Good cholesterol is good for our heart and helps in reducing the bad cholesterol from our body. On the other hand, excess bad cholesterol (LDL) leads to the risk of heart diseases like heart attack and stroke.

ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET is a combination of two drugs: Rosuvastatin (statin) and Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Rosuvastatin belongs to the class of statins or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors that work by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the body that is essential to make cholesterol. Thereby, it decreases the production of LDL (bad cholesterol) by the liver. Also, it reduces the risk of stroke or heart attack by reducing the excess cholesterol deposition in the major blood vessels of the brain and heart. Cholecalciferol is vitamin D3 that helps in the absorption of calcium by the body and also relieves muscle pain caused by Rosuvastatin.

Take ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you how often you take ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET based on your medical condition. Some people may experience nausea, headache, stomach pain, dizziness, weakness, muscle pain or constipation. Most of these side effects of ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Avoid using ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding women and consult a doctor before taking ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET. You are advised to take effective birth control measures while taking ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET to avoid pregnancy while taking ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET. Avoid taking ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET if you have liver disease, including abnormal liver enzyme tests. You recommend maintaining a time gap of 2 hours between taking ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET and antacids containing magnesium or aluminium. Taking these medicines together may reduce the absorption of ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET by antacid. If you have thyroid disorder, severe respiratory failure, hypervitaminosis D (high levels of vitamin D in the body), hypercalcemia (high levels of calcium in the blood), electrolyte imbalance, kidney, liver, heart or muscle problems, please consult a doctor before taking ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET.

• Maintain a low-fat diet. Limit your intake of dairy products made with whole milk and red meat. Prefer skim milk and fat-free or low-fat dairy products.
• Eat a healthy diet that includes fruits, vegetables, fish, poultry, whole grains, nuts and cut down beverages, and processed and sugary foods.
• Do regular exercises such as swimming, cycling, walking, or dancing and focus on losing weight as obesity also raises bad cholesterol and lowers good cholesterol.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.

• Regular blood tests are recommended while taking ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET to monitor cholesterol levels in the blood and liver functioning.
• Regularly monitor blood sugar levels as ROSUVAS D 5MG TABLET may increase the risk of developing diabetes, especially in patients who are overweight, have high blood pressure, or have high levels of fats and sugars in the blood.

High cholesterol known as hyperlipidemia or dyslipidemia occurs when there is an excess of the unhealthy balance of cholesterol in the blood. When there is a high level of cholesterol in the blood, your arteries get narrowed and clogged that finally contributing to heart diseases, like stroke and heart attack. Eating high-fat or high-cholesterol-containing food/drinks and genetic factors are the primary causes of high cholesterol. There are two types of cholesterol found in our body: good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein) and bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein). Good cholesterol is good for our heart and helps in reducing the bad cholesterol in our body. On the other hand, excess bad cholesterol (LDL) leads to the risk of heart diseases like heart attack and stroke.
