Lipirose 10mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Lipirose 10 MG Description
Lipirose 10 tablet contains rosuvastatin as its active ingredient that is used to lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It is used along with lifestyle modifications such as a cholesterol-lowering diet and physical activity. It is also known as 'Statins' or 'HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors' medicine.
High cholesterol levels cause narrowing of blood vessels that ultimately lead to heart attack or stroke. This medicine lowers the formation of bad cholesterol in the body by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for cholesterol formation. Take this medicine, preferably at bedtime, to gain optimum benefits.
Along with this medicine, you should practice exercise and consume less fried, junk and packaged food. Crevast 10 tablets, Rxtor 10 tablet, Zyrova 10 and Rosycap 10 are some other medicines containing rosuvastatin as the main component.
