Rosugen 10mg Tablets contain rosuvastatin 10mg, a statin medicine used to help lower high cholesterol and triglyceride levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications in appropriate patients.

Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting an enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver. This reduces LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and can increase HDL (“good”) cholesterol while helping lower triglycerides.

Rosugen should be used together with a heart-healthy diet, regular physical activity, and other lifestyle measures recommended by your healthcare professional.
