Rosuvastatin is a medication used to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides in the blood while increasing good cholesterol (HDL). It belongs to a class of drugs called statins and is available by prescription only. Common side effects include abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, and muscle pain. Rosuvastatin has been shown to be a potent statin, with favorable effects on HDL and reducing cardiovascular events in low-risk patients. Patients should avoid eating high-fat or high-cholesterol foods or drinking alcohol while taking this medication. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking Rosuvastatin to determine if it is the right choice for treating high cholesterol levels.
