Medicine information
उपयोग
Rosuvastatin 20 mg and Ezetimibe 10 mg is a prescription medicine combination used to manage high cholesterol levels in patients who require additional LDL cholesterol reduction. It contains two active ingredients that work through different mechanisms to improve cholesterol control and support cardiovascular health. Rosuvastatin is a statin that reduces cholesterol production in the liver by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme. Ezetimibe works by reducing cholesterol absorption in the small intestine. Together, these medicines help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and may also reduce triglyceride levels in some patients. The combination may be prescribed to people with high cholesterol, including certain patients who need additional treatment alongside dietary changes and physical activity.
