Turbovas-20 Tablet (Rosuvastatin) x30

Turbovas-20 Tablet contains 20mg of Rosuvastatin, a potent statin medication used to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. This higher-dose formulation is typically prescribed for patients requiring more intensive lipid management.

Uses

Turbovas-20 is primarily used to:

• Lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides
• Raise HDL (good) cholesterol
• Reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events
• Treat primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia
• Slow the progression of atherosclerosis

Benefits

• Highly effective in lowering LDL cholesterol and triglycerides
• Raises HDL cholesterol levels
• Reduces risk of cardiovascular events
• More potent than many other statins at equivalent doses
• Can be taken with or without food
• Once-daily dosing for convenience
• May slow the progression of atherosclerosis

How It Works

Rosuvastatin works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in cholesterol production in the liver. This leads to increased removal of LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream and reduced production of cholesterol, resulting in significantly lower blood cholesterol levels.

Dosage

The typical dose is one 20mg tablet once daily. It can be taken at any time of day, with or without food. Dosage may be adjusted based on individual response and tolerability. Always follow your doctor’s prescription and instructions.

Side Effects

• Muscle pain or weakness

Rare but serious side effects can include liver problems and rhabdomyolysis.

Warning

Rosuvastatin can cause serious muscle problems (rhabdomyolysis) in rare cases. Report any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness to your doctor immediately. Avoid grapefruit products while taking this medication. Pregnant women or those planning pregnancy should not take rosuvastatin.
