RASTOR 40 MG TABLET 28 PCS
What is Rastor 40mg Tablets?
Rastor 40mg Tablets contain Rosuvastatin, a potent medication belonging to the statin class, widely prescribed for managing lipid disorders. It is primarily used to effectively lower high levels of 'bad' cholesterol (Low-Density Lipoprotein - LDL) and triglycerides in the blood. This medicine also works to increase levels of 'good' cholesterol (High-Density Lipoprotein - HDL), contributing to overall cardiovascular health. By regulating cholesterol levels, Rastor 40mg helps in significantly reducing the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
