- Rosutin EZ 5/10 Tablet taken with dietary measures helps in the treatment of high cholesterol, especially for heart patients, when initial dietary measures fail to lower cholesterol.
- Rosutin EZ 5/10 Tablet lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease and the risk of coronary events like heart attack, stroke, and heart-related chest pain (angina).
- Rosutin EZ 5/10 Tablet contains rosuvastatin, which is a lipid-lowering medicine that prevents your body from making bad cholesterol (LDL) while increasing ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL) levels.
- It blocks liver enzymes, causing the liver to make less cholesterol. So, Rosuvastatin+ezetimibe increases the uptake and breakdown by the liver of cholesterol already in the blood.
- Ezetimibe is a cholesterol absorption inhibitor that prevents the absorption of cholesterol from the intestines.
- Together, Rosuvastatin+ezetimibe provides a better decrease in cholesterol in your body.
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance produced naturally by the liver. It plays an important role in protecting nerves, building body tissues, and producing hormones. In addition to the cholesterol made by the body, we also obtain cholesterol from foods such as cooking oils, eggs, meat, and dairy products.
While cholesterol is essential for normal body function, excess cholesterol can be harmful and increase the risk of serious health problems.
Types of Cholesterol
There are two main types of cholesterol:
Bad Cholesterol
Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
Triglycerides (TG)
High levels of LDL and triglycerides can cause cholesterol to build up in the blood vessels.
Good Cholesterol
High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and protects the heart.
Why High Cholesterol Is Dangerous
High cholesterol usually does not cause noticeable symptoms. However, when cholesterol builds up in the arteries, it forms plaque, which narrows or blocks blood flow.
Blocked arteries can lead to:
- Chest pain (angina)
- Heart attack
- Stroke
Importance of Cholesterol Testing
Since high cholesterol often has no warning signs, it is important to monitor cholesterol levels regularly. A complete lipid profile test should be done at least once a year.
Regular testing helps:
- Assess heart health
- Detect risks early
- Prevent heart attack and stroke through timely treatment and lifestyle changes
