Rxtor 10 MG Description

Rxtor 10 tablet is a cholesterol-lowering medicine. It contains rosuvastatin as its active ingredient. Rxtor is used for the treatment of high cholesterol or to correct abnormal cholesterol along with dietary and lifestyle modifications. It is also used to slow down the progression of atherosclerosis (narrowing of blood vessels due to fat build-up) and reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, etc. Rosuvastatin works by interfering with the formation of cholesterol or fat in your body.

The dose and duration of this medicine will be decided by your doctor after assessing your complete medical history. Crevast 10 tablet, Rosuvas 10 tablet, Zyrova 10 and Rosycap 10 are some other medicines containing rosuvastatin as the main component.
