Introduction to Rosuvas Ez 10mg Tablet

Rosuvas EZ 10mg tablet contains two active ingredients in one tablet. One of the active substances is rosuvastatin, which belongs to the group of medications called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins); the other active substance is ezetimibe belonging to the group of medications called 2-Azetidinones. This combination is used to reduce total cholesterol levels, LDL (bad cholesterol), and fatty substances called triglycerides in your blood. It also helps to raise levels of HDL (good cholesterol).   

Rosuvas EZ 10mg tablet is used in patients whose cholesterol levels cannot be controlled by a cholesterol-lowering diet alone. It is used in patients with heart disease. This medicine reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, surgery to increase heart blood flow, or hospitalization for chest pain. This tablet does not help you lose weight.

Uses of Rosuvas Ez 10mg Tablet

  • Reduces total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in the blood.

Therapeutic Effects of Rosuvas Ez 10mg Tablet

This medicine reduces your cholesterol in two ways: it reduces the cholesterol absorbed in your digestive tract and the cholesterol your body makes by itself. Rosuvastatin is an HMG CoA-reductase inhibitor; it increases the number of hepatic LDL receptors on the cell surface to enhance the uptake and breakdown of LDL and inhibits hepatic synthesis of VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein), thereby reducing the total number of cholesterol levels. 

Ezetimibe inhibits cholesterol absorption in the small intestine; it localizes at the brush border of the small intestine and decreases the delivery of intestinal cholesterol to the liver; this reduces hepatic cholesterol stores and increases cholesterol clearance from the blood.
