Rosuvastatin and Lifestyle Modifications
In conjunction with medication, lifestyle changes such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and smoking cessation are important components of managing cholesterol and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.
Rosuvastatin 20 mg Tablet: Mechanism of Action
Rosuvastatin 20 mg tablets operate by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in the liver. This action reduces the synthesis of cholesterol, leading to a significant decrease in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. By doing so, Rosuvastatin helps prevent the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries, which is vital in managing cholesterol and mitigating cardiovascular risk.
